Context of Ezekiel 30:6

4An enemy army will attack Egypt. The people of Ethiopia will be afraid. Many people in Egypt will die in the battle. Enemies will carry away Egypt's riches. They will knock down Egypt's buildings. 5Soldiers from other nations will also die in the battle. They are soldiers from Ethiopia, Put, Lydia, Libya, and Arabia, as well as men who belong to my own people. This is what the Lord says: All the people who help Egypt will die in the battle. Egypt will no longer be proud of her great power. Egypt's soldiers will die everywhere, from Migdol to Aswan. That is what the Almighty Lord says. 7Egypt will become like a desert among other deserts. Its cities will become heaps of stones. 8I will burn Egypt with fire. I will destroy all those who fight to help Egypt. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
