Ezekiel 30:3-5

Good News Translation

³The day is near, the day when the Lord will act,
A day of clouds and trouble for the nations.
⁴There will be war in Egypt
And great distress in Ethiopia.^[a]
Many in Egypt will be killed;
The country will be plundered
And left in ruins.

⁵“That war will also kill the soldiers hired from Ethiopia,^[b] Libya, Lydia, Arabia, Kub, and even from among my own people.”
