1. The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2. Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord GOD; Wail, Alas for the day!
3. For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time for the nations.
4. And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
