Ezekiel 30:3-5
The Message
Egypt on Fire
30 1-5 God, the Master, spoke to me: “Son of man, preach. Give them the Message of God, the Master. Wail:
“‘Doomsday!’
Time’s up!
God’s big day of judgment is near.
Thick clouds are rolling in.
It’s doomsday for the nations.
Death will rain down on Egypt.
Terror will paralyze Ethiopia
When they see the Egyptians killed,
their wealth hauled off,
their foundations demolished,
And Ethiopia, Put, Lud, Arabia, Libya
—all of Egypt’s old allies—
killed right along with them.
Ezekiel 30:3-5
New International Version
3 For the day is near,(A)
the day of the Lord(B) is near—
a day of clouds,
a time of doom for the nations.
4 A sword will come against Egypt,(C)
and anguish will come upon Cush.[a](D)
When the slain fall in Egypt,
her wealth will be carried away
and her foundations torn down.(E)
5 Cush and Libya,(F) Lydia and all Arabia,(G) Kub and the people(H) of the covenant land will fall by the sword along with Egypt.(I)
