Yehezkiel 30:6-9

30:6 “‘This is what the Lord says:

Egypt’s supporters will fall;

her confident pride will crumble. ¹ 

From Migdol to Syene ²  they will die by the sword within her,

declares the sovereign Lord.

30:7 They will be desolate among desolate lands,

and their cities will be among ruined cities.

30:8 They will know that I am the Lord

when I ignite a fire in Egypt

and all her allies are defeated. ³ 

30:9 On that day messengers will go out from me in ships to frighten overly confident Ethiopia; panic will overtake them on the day of Egypt’s doom; ⁴  for beware – it is coming!

[30:6]  ¹ tn Heb “come down.”
