4A sword will come against Egypt, and those who are slaughtered will cover the ground. Its wealth will be carried away and its foundations destroyed. The land of Ethiopia will be ravished. 5Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, all Arabia, and all their other allies will be destroyed in that war. “For this is what the Lord says: All of Egypt’s allies will fall, and the pride of her power will end.
