1. The Lord spoke his word to me, saying:
2. “Human, prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Lord God says:Cry and say,“The terrible day is coming.”
3. The day is near;the Lord’s day of judging is near.It is a cloudy dayand a time when the nations will be judged.
4. An enemy will attack Egypt,and Cush will tremble with fear.When the killing begins in Egypt,her wealth will be taken away,and her foundations will be torn down.
