Ezekiel 30:6-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 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.
7 They will be desolate
among[a] desolate lands,
and their cities will lie
among ruined[b] cities.(A)
8 They will know that I am Yahweh
when I set fire to Egypt(B)
and all its allies are shattered.
9 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. For indeed it is coming.”

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!’”
