NIVNew International Version (2011)

A sword will come against Egypt,

and anguish will come upon Cush.

When the slain fall in Egypt,

her wealth will be carried away

and her foundations torn down.

Cush and Libya, Lydia and all Arabia, Kub and the people of the covenant land will fall by the sword along with Egypt.

“ ‘This is what the Lord says:

“ ‘The allies of Egypt will fall

and her proud strength will fail.

From Migdol to Aswan

they will fall by the sword within her,

declares the Sovereign Lord.

“ ‘They will be desolate

among desolate lands,

and their cities will lie

among ruined cities.

Then they will know that I am the Lord,

when I set fire to Egypt

and all her helpers are crushed.

“ ‘On that day messengers will go out from me in ships to frighten Cush out of her complacency. Anguish will take hold of them on the day of Egypt’s doom, for it is sure to come.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

A sword will come against Egypt,

and there will be anguish in Cush

when the slain fall in Egypt,

and its wealth is taken away,

and its foundations are demolished.

Cush, Put, and Lud,

and all the various foreign troops,

plus Libya and the men of the covenant land

will fall by the sword along with them.

This is what the Lord says:

Those who support Egypt will fall,

and its proud strength will collapse.

From Migdol to Syene

they will fall within it by the sword.

This is the declaration of the Lord God.

They will be desolate

among desolate lands,

and their cities will lie

among ruined cities.

They will know that I am the Lord

when I set fire to Egypt

and all its allies are shattered.

On that day, messengers will go out from me in ships to terrify confident Cush. Anguish will come over them on the day of Egypt’s doom. For indeed it is coming.

NLTNew Living Translation

A sword will come against Egypt,

and those who are slaughtered will cover the ground.

Its wealth will be carried away

and its foundations destroyed.

The land of Ethiopia will be ravished.

Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, all Arabia,

and all their other allies

will be destroyed in that war.

“For this is what the Lord says:

All of Egypt’s allies will fall,

and the pride of her power will end.

From Migdol to Aswan

they will be slaughtered by the sword,

says the Sovereign Lord.

Egypt will be desolate,

surrounded by desolate nations,

and its cities will be in ruins,

surrounded by other ruined cities.

And the people of Egypt will know that I am the Lord

when I have set Egypt on fire

and destroyed all their allies.

At that time I will send swift messengers in ships

to terrify the complacent Ethiopians.

Great panic will come upon them

on that day of Egypt’s certain destruction.

Watch for it!

It is sure to come!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And a sword will come in Egypt,

and anguish will be in Cush,

at the falling of the slain in Egypt.

And they will take its wealth,

and its foundation will be demolished.

Cush and Put and Lud and all of Arabia and Kub and the people of the land of the treaty with them—by the sword they will fall.”

Thus says Yahweh:

“And the supporters of Egypt will fall,

and the majesty of its strength will go down

from Migdol to Syene;

by the sword they will fall in it,”

declares the Lord Yahweh.

“And they will be desolate in the midst of desolate countries,

and its cities will be in the midst of ruined cities.

And they will know that I am Yahweh

when I put my fire in Egypt,

and all of its helpers are broken.

On that day messengers will go down from before me in the ships to terrify unsuspecting Cush, and anguish will be in them on the day of Egypt; for look, it is coming!”

KJV 1900King James Version

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. Thus saith the Lord; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord God. And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed. In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.
