2 “Son of man, prophesy, and say, thus says Adonai Elohim: ‘Wail, alas, for the day!
3 For the day is near, the day of Adonai is near, a day of clouds, a time for the nations.
4 A sword will come against Egypt. Anguish will be in Ethiopia when the slain fall in Egypt. They will take away her abundance. Her foundations will be torn down.
5 Ethiopia, Put and Lud, all the mixed people, Libya, and children of the covenant land will fall with them by the sword.’”
6 Thus says Adonai Elohim: “Those who support Egypt will fall. The pride of her power will collapse. From Migdol to Syene they will fall within her by the sword.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
7 “They will be desolate among desolate lands. Her cities will be among ruined cities.
8 They will know that I am Adonai, when I have set a fire in Egypt and all her supporters are destroyed.
