Read in context

Ezekiel 30:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 They will be desolate among desolate lands, and their cities will lie among ruined cities.

8 Then they will know that I am the LORD when I set fire to Egypt and all her helpers are shattered.

9 On that day messengers will go out from Me in ships to frighten Cush out of complacency. Anguish will come upon them on the day of Egypt’s doom. For it is indeed coming.

10 This is what the Lord GOD says: I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

11 He and his people with him, the most ruthless of the nations, will be brought in to destroy the land. They will draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the slain.
