Yechezkel 30:2 In-Context

1 0 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.
