“‘Yahweh says:

“They also who uphold Egypt will fall.
    The pride of her power will come down.
They will fall by the sword in it from the tower of Seveneh,”
    says the Lord Yahweh.
“They will be desolate in the middle of the countries that are desolate.
    Her cities will be among the cities that are wasted.
They will know that I am Yahweh
    when I have set a fire in Egypt,
    and all her helpers are destroyed.

“‘“In that day messengers will go out from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid. There will be anguish on them, as in the day of Egypt; for, behold, it comes.”

This is what the Lord says:
Those who support Egypt will fall,
and its proud strength will collapse.
From Migdol to Syene
they will fall within it by the sword.
This is the declaration of the Lord God.
They will be desolate
among[a] desolate lands,
and their cities will lie
among ruined[b] cities.(A)
They will know that I am the Lord
when I set fire to Egypt(B)
and all its allies are shattered.

On that day, messengers will go out from me in ships(C) to terrify confident Cush. Anguish will come over them on the day of Egypt’s doom.[c] For indeed it is coming.
