The day is near.
    The Lord’s day of judging is near.
It is a cloudy day.
    It is a time when the nations will be judged.
An enemy will attack Egypt.
    And Cush will tremble with fear.
When the killing begins in Egypt,
    her wealth will be taken away.
    Egypt’s foundations will be torn down.

Cush, Put, Lydia, Arabia, Libya and my people will die. All these who made an agreement with Egypt will fall dead in war.
