This is what the LORD says:
The allies of Egypt will fall
and her proud strength will fail.
From Migdol to Aswan
they will fall by the sword within her,
declares the Sovereign LORD.
They will be desolate among desolate lands,
and their cities will lie among ruined cities.
Then they will know that I am the LORD,
when I set fire to Egypt
and all her helpers are crushed.
On that day messengers will go out from me
in ships to frighten Cush out of her complacency.
Anguish will take hold of them
on the day of Egypt’s doom,
for it is sure to come.
~ Ezekiel 30
