Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”

Egypt shall wail and shriek, for the day of the Lord, dark, terrible, a day of reckoning with all heathen nations, approaches swiftly. The sword of the Chaldeans will come; cities that seemed strong will crumble when their foundations are broken down.
