1 The Lord spoke his word to me, saying:
2 “Human, prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Lord God says:Cry and say,“The terrible day is coming.”
3 The day is near;the Lord’s day of judging is near.It is a cloudy dayand a time when the nations will be judged.
4 An enemy will attack Egypt,and Cush will tremble with fear.When the killing begins in Egypt,her wealth will be taken away,and her foundations will be torn down.
