3 ^c“Prepare buckler and shield,
and advance for battle!
4 ^dHarness the horses;
mount, O horsemen!
Take your stations with your helmets,
^epolish your spears,
put on your armor!
5 Why have I seen it?
They are dismayed
and have turned backward.
Their ^fwarriors are beaten down
and have fled in haste;
^gthey look not back—
^hterror on every side!

declares the Lord.
6 “The swift cannot flee away,
nor the warrior escape;
ⁱin the north by the river Euphrates
^jthey have stumbled and fallen.
7 “Who is this, ^krising like the Nile,
like rivers ^lwhose waters surge?
8 Egypt rises like the Nile,
like rivers ^mwhose waters surge.
He said, ‘I will rise, I will cover the earth,
I will destroy cities and their inhabitants.’
9 ⁿAdvance, O horses,
and rage, O chariots!
Let the warriors go out:
men of Cush and ^oPut who handle the shield,
^pmen of Lud, skilled in handling the bow.

Ezekiel 30:5-9

5 ^qCush, and ^rPut, and Lud, and ^sall Arabia, and Libya, ^{▼▼With Septuagint; Hebrew Cub} and the people of the land that is in league, ^{▼▼Hebrew and the sons of the land of the covenant} shall fall with them by the sword.

6 “Thus says the Lord:
^vThose who support Egypt shall fall,
and ^wher proud might shall come down;
^xfrom Migdol to Syene
they shall fall within her by the sword,
declares the Lord God.
7 ^yAnd they shall be desolated in the midst of desolated countries,
and their cities shall be in the midst of cities that are laid waste.
8 ^zThen they will know that I am the Lord,
when ^aaI have set fire to Egypt,
and ^aball her helpers are broken.
9 “On that day ^acmessengers shall go out from me in ships to terrify the unsuspecting ^adpeople of Cush, and ^aeanguish shall come upon them on the day of Egypt’s doom; ^{▼▼Hebrew the day of Egypt} for, behold, it comes!
