1 And the word of YHWH came to me, saying: 2 “Son of man, prophesy and say, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Wail, alas, for the day!’ 3 For near is the day, near is the day of YHWH—a day of clouds, a time of the nations it will be! 4 And a sword will come against Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush at the falling of the slain in Egypt, and they will take away her wealth, and they will tear down her foundations. 5 Cush, and Put, and Lud, and all the mixture, and libya, and the sons of the land of the covenant, they will fall with them by the sword. 6 Thus says YHWH: And will fall those upholding Egypt, and will come down the pride of her strength; from Migdol to Syene, they will fall by the sword within her, a declaration of the Lord YHWH. 7 And they will be desolate in the midst of desolate lands, and her cities will be in the midst of the cities laid waste. 8 And they will know that I am YHWH, in My giving forth a fire in Egypt, so that are broken all her helpers. 9 On that day messengers will go forth from before My face in ships, to make tremble the confident Cush, and there will be anguish among them, as on the day of Egypt, for behold, it is coming!
