30:5-13
E ze k iel
The land of Ethiopia will be ravished.
Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, all Arabia,
and all their other allies
will be destroyed in that war.
“For this is what the Lord says:
All of Egypt’s allies will fall,
and the pride of her power will end.
From Migdol to Aswan
they will be slaughtered by the sword,
says the Sovereign Lord.
Egypt will be desolate,
surrounded by desolate nations,
and its cities will be in ruins,
surrounded by other ruined cities.
And the people of Egypt will know that I am
the Lord
when I have set Egypt on fire
and destroyed all their allies.
At that time I will send swift messengers in ships
to terrify the complacent Ethiopians.
Great panic will come upon them
on that day of Egypt’s certain destruction.
Watch for it!
It is sure to come!
“For this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
By the power of King Nebuchadnezzar of
Babylon,
I will destroy the hordes of Egypt.
He and his armies—the most ruthless of all—
will be sent to demolish the land.
They will make war against Egypt
until slaughtered Egyptians cover the ground.
I will dry up the Nile River
and sell the land to wicked men.
I will destroy the land of Egypt and everything in it
by the hands of foreigners.
I, the Lord, have spoken!
“This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
I will smash the idols of Egypt
and the images at Memphis.
