- The word of the LORD came to me:
- "Son of man, prophesy and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: " 'Wail and say, "Alas for that day!"
- For the day is near, the day of the LORD is near-- a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations.
- A sword will come against Egypt, and anguish will come upon Cush. When the slain fall in Egypt, her wealth will be carried away and her foundations torn down.
- Cush and Put, Lydia and all Arabia, Libya and the people of the covenant land will fall by the sword along with Egypt.

- The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
- Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!
- For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
- And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
- Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
