- 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 to me saying,
- "Son of man, prophesy and say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Wail, 'Alas for the day!'
- "For the day is near, Even the day of the LORD is near; It will be a day of clouds, A time of doom for the nations.
- "A sword will come upon Egypt, And anguish will be in Ethiopia; When the slain fall in Egypt, They take away her wealth, And her foundations are torn down.
- "Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all Arabia, Libya and the people of the land that is in league will fall with them by the sword."
