Yechezkel 30:1-11 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. The Davar Hashem came again unto me, saying,

2. Ben adam, prophesy, say, Thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Wail ye, Alas for the day!

3. For the day is near, even the Yom Hashem is near, a Yom Anan (Day of Cloud); it shall be the time of the Goyim.

4. And the cherev shall come upon Mitzrayim, and great anguish shall be in Kush (Ethiopia), when the slain shall fall in Mitzrayim, and they shall take away her wealth, and her yesodot (foundations) shall be broken down.

5. Kush, and Put, and Lud, and all the mixed horde, and Libya, and the Bnei Eretz HaBrit with them, shall fall by the cherev.

6. Thus saith Hashem: They also that support Mitzrayim shall fall; and the ga'on (pride) of her strength shall come down; from Migdol to Aswan shall they fall within her by the cherev, saith Adonoi Hashem.

7. And they shall be desolate betoch (in the midst of) the countries that are desolate, and her towns shall be in the midst of the towns that are laid waste.

8. And they shall know that I am Hashem, when I have set an eish in Mitzrayim, and when all her allies shall be destroyed.

9. In that day shall malachim go forth from Me in ships to make the complacently secure Ethiopians afraid, and great anguish shall come upon them, as in the Yom Mitzrayim; for, hinei, it cometh.

10. Thus saith Adonoi Hashem; I will also cause the multitude of Mitzrayim to cease by the yad of Nevuchadretzar Melech Bavel.

11. He and his army with him, the most terrible of the Goyim, shall be brought in to destroy ha'aretz; and they shall draw their charavot (swords) against Mitzrayim, and fill ha'aretz with the slain.
