Ezekiel 30:4-6
New English Translation
4 A sword will come against Egypt
and panic will overtake Ethiopia
when the slain fall in Egypt
and they carry away her wealth
and dismantle her foundations.
5 Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all the foreigners,[a] Libya, and the people[b] of the covenant land[c] will die by the sword along with them.
6 “‘This is what the Lord says:
Egypt’s supporters will fall;
her confident pride will crumble.[d]
From Migdol to Syene[e] they will die by the sword within her,
declares the Sovereign Lord.
