Ezekiel 30:2-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 30
2Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: 'Wail, ‘Woe for the day!’ 3For the day is near, Indeed, the day of the Lord is near; It will be a day of clouds, A time of doom for the nations.
6‘This is what the Lord says: '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.
8And they will know that I am the Lord, When I set a fire in Egypt And all her helpers are broken.
14I will make Pathros desolate, Set a fire in Zoan And execute judgments on Thebes.
15I will pour out My wrath on Sin, The stronghold of Egypt; I will also eliminate the hordes of Thebes.
16I will set a fire in Egypt; Sin will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be breached And Memphis will have distresses daily.
King James Version
4And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
5Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
6Thus saith the Lord; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord God.
8And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.
9In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.
10Thus saith the Lord God; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.

Chapter 30
2"Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: Wail, "Woe because of that day!" 3For a day is near; a day belonging to the Lord is near. It will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations. 4A sword will come against Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when the slain fall in Egypt, and its wealth is taken away, and its foundations are demolished. 5Cush, Put, and Lud, and all the various foreign troops, plus Libya and the men of the covenant land will fall by the sword along with them.
6This is what the Lord says: Those who support Egypt will fall, and its proud strength will collapse. From Migdol to Syene they will fall within it by the sword. This is the declaration of the Lord God.
7They will be desolate among desolate lands, and their cities will lie among ruined cities.
8They will know that I am the Lord when I set fire to Egypt and all its allies are shattered.
10"‘This is what the Lord God says: I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt by the hand of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.
11He along with his people, ruthless men from the nations, will be brought in to destroy the land. They will draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the slain.
12I will make the streams dry and sell the land to evil men. I will bring desolation on the land and everything in it by the hands of foreigners. I, the Lord, have spoken.
13"‘This is what the Lord God says: I will destroy the idols and put an end to the false gods in Memphis. There will no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt. And I will instill fear in that land.
14I will make Pathros desolate, set fire to Zoan, and execute judgments on Thebes.
15I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and will wipe out the hordes of Thebes.
16I will set fire to Egypt; Pelusium will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be breached, and Memphis will face foes in broad daylight.

Chapter 30
2Son of man, prophesy and give this message from the Sovereign Lord: 'Weep and wail for that day, 3for the terrible day is almost here — the day of the Lord! It is a day of clouds and gloom, a day of despair for the nations. 4A sword will come against Egypt, and those who are slaughtered will cover the ground. Its wealth will be carried away and its foundations destroyed. The land of Ethiopia will be ravished. 5Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, all Arabia, and all their other allies will be destroyed in that war.
6'For this is what the Lord says: All of Egypt’s allies will fall, and the pride of her power will end. From Migdol to Aswan they will be slaughtered by the sword, says the Sovereign Lord.
7Egypt will be desolate, surrounded by desolate nations, and its cities will be in ruins, surrounded by other ruined cities.
8And the people of Egypt will know that I am the Lord when I have set Egypt on fire and destroyed all their allies.
9At that time I will send swift messengers in ships to terrify the complacent Ethiopians. Great panic will come upon them on that day of Egypt’s certain destruction. Watch for it! It is sure to come!
10'For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: By the power of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, I will destroy the hordes of Egypt.
11He and his armies — the most ruthless of all — will be sent to demolish the land. They will make war against Egypt until slaughtered Egyptians cover the ground.
12I will dry up the Nile River and sell the land to wicked men. I will destroy the land of Egypt and everything in it by the hands of foreigners. I, the Lord, have spoken!
13'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will smash the idols of Egypt and the images at Memphis. There will be no rulers left in Egypt; terror will sweep the land.
14I will destroy southern Egypt, set fire to Zoan, and bring judgment against Thebes.
15I will pour out my fury on Pelusium, the strongest fortress of Egypt, and I will stamp out the hordes of Thebes.
16Yes, I will set fire to all Egypt! Pelusium will be racked with pain; Thebes will be torn apart; Memphis will live in constant terror.
