Ezekiel 30:2 In-Context

1 The LORD's word came to me:
2 Human one, prophesy and say, The LORD God proclaims: Howl! Horror for the day!
3 The day is coming, the day of the LORD comes, a day of clouds: the nations' time has come.
4 A sword will come into Egypt, and trembling will overcome Cush, when the slain fall in Egypt, its wealth carried away, and its foundations razed.
5 Cush, Put, and Lud, all Arabia and Cub, and the people from the allied country with them will fall by the sword.
