On that day, messengers shall go out from me in ships to terrify the unsuspecting Ethiopians;[a] and anguish shall come upon them on the day of Egypt’s doom;[b] for it is coming!

10 Thus says the Lord God:

I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt,
    by the hand of King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon.

    shall be brought in to destroy the land;
and they shall draw their swords against Egypt,
    and fill the land with the slain.
