1The word of the Lord came again to me, saying, 2“Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Wail, ‘Woe for the day!’ For the day is near, Indeed, the day of the Lord is near; It will be a day of clouds, A time of doom for the nations. 4A sword will come upon Egypt, And there will be trembling in Cush; When the slain fall in Egypt, They will take away her wealth, And her foundations will be torn down. 5Cush, Put, Lud, all Arabia, Libya and the people of the land that is in league will fall with them by the sword.”
