Ezekiel 30:3-5
Evangelical Heritage Version
3 Yes, that day is near. The Day of the Lord is near. It will be a day of clouds, a time for the nations. 4 A sword will enter Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush[a] when the slain fall in Egypt. Then they will take away its wealth, and its foundations will be demolished. 5 Cush, Put,[b] Lud,[c] and all the other mercenaries,[d] Libya[e] and the men from the land of the covenant[f] will fall by the sword along with them.
