Ezekiel 30:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴A sword shall come upon Egypt,
    and anguish shall be in Ethiopia,^[a]
when the slain fall in Egypt,
    and its wealth is carried away,
    and its foundations are torn down.

⁵Ethiopia,^[b] and Put, and Lud, and all Arabia, and Libya,^[c] and the people of the allied land^[d] shall fall with them by the sword.

⁶Thus says the Lord:
Those who support Egypt shall fall,
and its proud might shall come down;
from Migdol to Syene
they shall fall within it by the sword,
says the Lord God.
