Ezekiel 30:6-9
New American Standard Bible
6 ‘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.
7 “They will be desolate
In the (B)midst of the desolated lands;
And her cities will be
In the midst of the devastated cities.
8 And they will (C)know that I am the Lord,
When I set a (D)fire in Egypt
And all her helpers are broken.
9 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!”

Revised Standard Version
6 “Thus says the Lord:
Those who support Egypt shall fall,
and her proud might shall come down;
from Migdol to Syene
they shall fall within her by the sword,
says the Lord God.
7 And she[a] shall be desolated in the midst of desolated countries
and her cities shall be in the midst of cities that are laid waste.
8 Then they will know that I am the Lord,
when I have set fire to Egypt,
and all her helpers are broken.
9 “On that day swift[b] messengers shall go forth from me to terrify the unsuspecting Ethiopians; and anguish shall come upon them on the day of Egypt’s doom; for, lo, it comes!
