“A sword will come upon Egypt,
And anguish will be in ^(a)Ethiopia;
When the slain fall in Egypt,
They ^(A)take away her ^(b)wealth,
And her foundations are torn down.

^{Tools
5} ^(c)Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all ^(d)^(B)Arabia, ^(e)Libya and the ^(f)people of the land ^(g)that is in league will fall with them by the sword.”

‘Thus says the Lord,
“Indeed, those who support ^(C)Egypt will fall
And the pride of her power will come down;
From Migdol to Syene
They will fall within her by the sword,”
Declares the Lord God.

“They will be desolate
In the ^(D)midst of the desolated lands;
And her cities will be
In the midst of the devastated cities.

“And they will ^(E)know that I am the Lord,
When I set a ^(F)fire in Egypt
And all her helpers are broken.

^{Tools
9} On that day ^(G)messengers will go forth from Me in ships to frighten ^(H)secure ^(h)Ethiopia; and ^(I)anguish will be on them as on the day of Egypt; for behold, it comes!”
