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.
