Thus says Yahweh:

“And the supporters of Egypt will fall,
    and the majesty of its strength will go down
from Migdol to Syene;
    by the sword they will fall in it,”
declares[a] the Lord Yahweh.
“And they will be desolate in the midst of desolate countries,
    and its cities will be in the midst of ruined cities.
And they will know that I am Yahweh
    when I put my fire in Egypt,
    and all of its helpers are broken.

On that day messengers will go down from before me[b] in the ships to terrify unsuspecting Cush, and anguish will be in them on the day of Egypt; for look, it is coming!”

‘This is what the Lord says:
“Indeed, those who support (A)Egypt will fall
And the pride of her power will come down;
From Migdol to Syene
They will fall within her by the sword,”
Declares the Lord God.
“They will be desolate
In the (B)midst of the desolated lands;
And her cities will be
In the midst of the devastated cities.
And they will (C)know that I am the Lord,
When I set a (D)fire in Egypt
And all her helpers are broken.

On that day (E)messengers will go out from Me in ships to frighten (F)carefree [a]Cush; and (G)trembling will come on them as on the day of Egypt; for behold, it is coming!”
