1. the Lord’s word came again to 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 Lord’s day is near.It will be a day of clouds,a time of the nations.
4. A sword will come on Egypt,and anguish will be in Ethiopia,when the slain fall in Egypt.They take away her multitude,and her foundations are broken down.
5. “‘“Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all the mixed people, Cub, and the children of the land that is allied with them, will fall with them by the sword.”
