Ezekiel 30:3
“For the day is near, even the day of the Lord is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.”
The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,
Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!
For the day is near, even the day of the Lord is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain 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.
Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
