A sword will come against Egypt,(A)
    and anguish will come upon Cush.[a](B)
When the slain fall in Egypt,
    her wealth will be carried away
    and her foundations torn down.(C)

Cush and Libya,(D) Lydia and all Arabia,(E) Kub and the people(F) of the covenant land will fall by the sword along with Egypt.(G)

“‘The allies of Egypt will fall
    and her proud strength will fail.
From Migdol to Aswan(H)
    they will fall by the sword within her,
declares the Sovereign Lord.

  1. Ezekiel 30:4 That is, the upper Nile region; also in verses 5 and 9

And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.

Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.

Thus saith the Lord; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord God.
