Mortal, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord God:

Wail, “Alas for the day!”
    For a day is near,
    the day of the Lord is near;
it will be a day of clouds,
    a time of doom[a] for the nations.
A sword shall come upon Egypt,
    and anguish shall be in Ethiopia,[b]
when the slain fall in Egypt,
    and its wealth is carried away,
    and its foundations are torn down.
