The Day of the LORD Against Egypt

1

the LORD’s word came again to me, saying,

2

Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: Wail, Alas for the day!

3

For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near; it shall be a day of clouds, a time of the nations.

4

A sword shall come on Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt; and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.

5

Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the mixed people, and Cub, and the children of the land that is allied with them, shall fall with them by the sword.

6

Thus says the LORD: They also who uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Seveneh shall they fall in it by the sword, says the Lord GOD.

7

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.

8

They shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed.

9

In that day shall messengers go out from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid; and there shall be anguish on them, as in the day of Egypt; for, behold, it comes.
