‘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!”

  1. Ezekiel 30:9 Or Ethiopia

Thus saith Jehovah: They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: [a]from the tower of Seveneh shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord Jehovah. And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted. And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are [b]destroyed. In that day shall messengers go forth from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid; and there shall be anguish upon them, as in the day of Egypt; for, lo, it cometh.
