1. The word of the Lord came to me again, saying:
2. Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord God: Howl,“Woe to the day!”
3. For the day is near,even the day of the Lord is near,a cloudy day,it shall be the time of doom for the nations.
4. The sword shall come upon Egypt,and great pain shall be in Ethiopia,when the slain fall in Egypt,they take away her wealth,and her foundations are broken down.
5. Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, all Arabia, Kub, and the men of the land that is in league shall fall with them by the sword.
