2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord God: Howl,“Woe to the day!”
3 For the day is near,even the day of the Lord is near,a cloudy day,it shall be the time of doom for the nations.
4 The sword shall come upon Egypt,and great pain shall be in Ethiopia,when the slain fall in Egypt,they take away her wealth,and her foundations are broken down.
5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, all Arabia, Kub, and the men of the land that is in league shall fall with them by the sword.
6 Thus says the Lord: Indeed, those who uphold Egypt shall fall,and the pride of her power shall come down.From Migdol to Syenethey shall fall in her by the sword,says the Lord God.
