Lyrics
The LORD’s word came to me Wail alas for the day For the day is near Even the LORD’s day is near
It will be a day of clouds a time of the nations A sword will come on Egypt Anguish will be in Ethiopia when the slain fall in Egypt Ethiopia Put Lud all the mixed people will fall by the sword
The LORD says they also who uphold Egypt will fall The pride of her power will come down They will fall by the sword in it from the tower of Seveneh
They will be desolate in the middle of countries desolate Her cities amongst the cities that are wasted They will know that I am the LORD When I have set a fire in Egypt
Messengers will go out from before me in ships Make the careless Ethiopians afraid There will be anguish on them As in the day of Egypt for behold it comes
I will also make the multitude of Egypt cease By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon He and his people with him the terrible of the nations Will be brought in to destroy the land
They will draw their swords against Egypt Fill the land with the slain I will make the rivers dry Sell the land into the hand of evil men
I will make the land desolate Destroy the idols cause the images to cease I will put a fear in the land of Egypt I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt
I will break his arms the strong arm I will put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon I will scatter the Egyptians amongst the nations Then they will know that I am the LORD
