Context of Ezekiel 30:8

6‘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].
