1 The Lord spoke his word to me. He said,
2 “Son of man, prophesy. Say, ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says:Cry for that day!
3 The day is near. The day of the Lord is near.It will be a gloomy day, a time of trouble for the nations.

5 Sudan, Put, Lud, all the Arabs, the Libyans,and people from the promised land will die in battle.
