“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.

[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.
