3 "For the day is near, Even the day of the Lord is near; It will be a day of clouds, A time of doom for the nations.
4 "A sword will come upon Egypt, And anguish will be in Ethiopia; When the slain fall in Egypt, They take away her wealth, And her foundations are torn down.
5 Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all Arabia, Libya and the people of the land that is in league will fall with them by the sword."
6 'Thus says the Lord, "Indeed, those who support 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 midst of the desolated lands; And her cities will be In the midst of the devastated cities.
8 "And they will know that I am the Lord, When I set a fire in Egypt And all her helpers are broken.
9 On that day messengers will go forth from Me in ships to frighten secure Ethiopia; and anguish will be on them as on the day of Egypt; for behold, it comes!"
