Ezekiel 30:6-9
World English Bible
6 “‘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.
7 “They will be desolate in the middle of the countries that are desolate.
Her cities will be among the cities that are wasted.
8 They will know that I am Yahweh
when I have set a fire in Egypt,
and all her helpers are destroyed.
9 “‘“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.”

International Standard Version
Continued Judgment on Egypt
6 “This is what the Lord says:
‘Those who are supporting Egypt will fall;
her majestic strength that she brought[a] from the Aswan[b] fortress will collapse
by the sword that invades her,’
declares the Lord God.
7 They’ll remain desolate among desolate lands,
their cities will be named among those that are ruined.
8 They will know that I am the Lord
when I kindle my fire in Egypt
and all who help her are crushed.
9 ‘When that happens, couriers will go out in ships to terrify Ethiopia[c] in its complacency. Anguish will visit them as it will visit Egypt. Watch out! It’s coming!’”
