Ezekiel 30:7-9

New Living Translation

⁷ Egypt will be desolate,
    surrounded by desolate nations,
and its cities will be in ruins,
    surrounded by other ruined cities.
⁸ And the people of Egypt will know that I am the Lord
    when I have set Egypt on fire
    and destroyed all their allies.
⁹ At 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!
