“‘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.”

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)
