Ezekiel 30:6-9

Context

30:6 “‘This is what the Lord says:

Egypt’s supporters will fall;

her confident pride will crumble. 1 

From Migdol to Syene 2  they will die by the sword within her,

declares the sovereign Lord.

30:7 They will be desolate among desolate lands,

and their cities will be among ruined cities.

30:8 They will know that I am the Lord

when I ignite a fire in Egypt

and all her allies are defeated. 3 

30:9 On that day messengers will go out from me in ships to frighten overly confident Ethiopia; panic will overtake them on the day of Egypt’s doom; 4  for beware – it is coming!

1 tn Heb “come down.”

2 sn Syene is known as Aswan today.

3 tn Heb “all who aid her are broken.”

4 tn Heb “in the day of Egypt.” The word “doom” has been added in the translation to clarify the nature of this day.
