30 Then Yahweh gave me another message:

2 “Humanity’s child, prophesy and say that the master Yahweh says this:

‘Wail now because the coming days won’t go well.”

3 The day is near—the day is near for Yahweh.

It’ll be a day of clouds—a time of doom for nations.

4 Then an army will come against Egypt,

and there’ll be anguish in Kush when the killed people fall in Egypt—

when they take her wealth,

and when her foundations get torn apart.

5 Kush and Put, Lydia, all Arabia, and Libya, together with the people belonging to the agreement—they’ll all fall by the sword. 6 Yahweh says this: The ones who support Egypt militarily will fall, and the pride of Egypt’s strength will collapse. From Migdol to Seveneh their combined warriors will fall by the sword. That is the master Yahweh’s declaration. 7 Those allies will be appalled in the midst of the abandoned lands, and their cities will be among all the other ruined cities. 8 Then they’ll know that I am Yahweh, when I set fire to Egypt, and when all her helpers are destroyed.

9 At that time, messengers will go out from before me in ships to terrorise Kush when they think they’re secure, and there’ll be anguish among them on the day of Egypt’s doom. Yes, take notice, it’s coming. 10 The master Yahweh says this: I’ll use the Babylonian King Nebuchadnetstsar to make an end of the multitudes of Egypt.
