Context of Ezekiel 30:6

4A sword will come upon Egypt, And anguish and trembling will be in Ethiopia (Cush), When the slain fall in Egypt And they [of Babylon] carry away her great mass of people and her riches And her foundations are torn down. 5Ethiopia (Cush), Put, Lud, all Arabia, Libya (Cub) and the people of the land of the covenant [the Jews who had taken refuge in Egypt] will fall with the Egyptians by the sword.” ‘Thus says the Lord, “Those who uphold and support Egypt will fall And the pride of her power will come down; From Migdol [in the north] to Syene [in the south] They will fall within her by the sword,” Says the Lord God. 7“And they will be desolate In the midst of countries that are desolated; And her cities will be Among cities that are devastated [by plunder and slavery]. 8And they will know [without any doubt] that I am the Lord, When I have set a fire in Egypt And all her helpers are shattered and destroyed.
