1. The word of the Lord came to me again. He said,
2. “Son of man, speak for me. Say, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: “‘Cry and say, “A terrible day is coming.”
3. That day is near! Yes, the Lord’S day for judging is near. It will be a cloudy day, the time for judging the nations.
4. A sword will come against Egypt! People in Ethiopia will shake with fear, when Egypt falls. The army of Babylon will take the Egyptians as prisoners. Egypt’s foundations will be torn down.
