Ezekiel 30:2

Son of man, prophesy and say, thus saith the Lord God
Prophesy against Egypt's king and inhabitants, and in the name of the Lord thus speak against them: howl ye;
ye Egyptians, and also ye Ethiopians, and all others after named, which should share in the destruction of Egypt; this is said to give them notice of it, and prepare them for it: woe worth the day!
or, "alas for the day!" ^F4 O the unhappy day! what a sad dismal day is this! O that we should ever live to see such wretched times!

Ezekiel 30:2 In-Context

1 The word of ADONAI came to me:

2 "Human being, prophesy; say that Adonai ELOHIM says, 'Wail, "Oh no! It's today!"

3 For the day is near, the Day of ADONAI, a day of clouds, the time of the Goyim.

4 The sword will come against Egypt, and Ethiopia will be in anguish, when the slain fall in Egypt, when they take away her wealth, and her foundations are torn down.

5 Ethiopia, Put and Lud, all the mixed population and Kuv, and the people of allied lands will die by the sword with them.'
