6 ‘Thus says the LORD, “Indeed, those who support 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. 7 “They will be desolate In the midst of the desolated lands; And her cities will be In the midst of the devastated cities. 8 “And they will know that I am the LORD, When I set a fire in Egypt And all her helpers are broken. |
9 On that day messengers will go forth from Me in ships to frighten securei Lit CushEthiopia; and anguish will be on them as on the day of Egypt; for behold, it comes!” |
