Context of Ezekiel 30:7
5“Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, all the mingled people, Chub, and the men of the lands who are allied, shall fall with them by the sword.” 6‘Thus says the Lord: “Those who uphold Egypt shall fall, And the pride of her power shall come down. From Migdol to Syene Those within her shall fall by the sword,” Says the Lord God. “They shall be desolate in the midst of the desolate countries, And her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are laid waste. 8Then they will know that I am the Lord, When I have set a fire in Egypt And all her helpers are destroyed. 9On that day messengers shall go forth from Me in ships To make the careless Ethiopians afraid, And great anguish shall come upon them, As on the day of Egypt; For indeed it is coming!”
