1. Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,
2. Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Wail, Alas for the day!
3. For the day is near, even the day of Yahweh is near; it shall be a day of clouds, a time of the nations.
4. A sword shall come on Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt; and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
