There will be war in Egypt and anguish in Ethiopia.
    Many Egyptians will fall dead.
    People will take away Egypt’s wealth,
        and its foundations will be torn down.
Sudan, Put, Lud, all the Arabs, the Libyans,
    and people from the promised land will die in battle.

“‘This is what Yahweh says:

All Egypt’s allies will die.
    Egypt’s strength will disappear.
        People will die in war from Migdol to Syene,
            declares Adonay Yahweh.
