Thus says the Lord:
Those who support Egypt shall fall,
    and its proud might shall come down;
from Migdol to Syene
    they shall fall within it by the sword,
says the Lord God.(A)
They shall be desolated among other desolated countries,
    and their cities shall lie among cities laid waste.(B)
Then they shall know that I am the Lord,
    when I have set fire to Egypt,
    and all who help it are broken.(C)

On that day, messengers shall go out from me in ships to terrify the secure Cushites, and anguish shall come upon them on the day of Egypt’s doom,[a] for it is coming!(D)

  1. 30.9 Heb the day of Egypt

This is what the Lord says. Those who prop up Egypt will fall, and its proud power will sink down. From Migdol to Aswan, those in Egypt will fall by the sword, declares the Lord God. It will be the most desolate among the desolate lands, and its cities will be the most ruined among the ruined cities. They will know that I am the Lord when I set fire to Egypt, and all its helpers are crushed. On that day, messengers will go out from me in ships to terrify confident Cush, and there will be panic among them on the day for Egypt, for it is surely coming.
