Even the day of the Lord is near;
It will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles.
And great anguish shall be in1 Ethiopia,
When the slain fall in Egypt,
And they atake away her wealth,
And bher foundations are broken down.
“Those who uphold Egypt shall fall,
And the pride of her power shall come down.
aFrom1 Migdol to Syene
Those within her shall fall by the sword,”
Says the Lord God.
And her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are laid waste.
When I have set a fire in Egypt
And all her helpers are destroyed.

Ezekiel 30:5
the mingled people—the mercenary troops of Egypt from various lands, mostly from the interior of Africa (compare Ezekiel 27:10; Jeremiah 25:20, Jeremiah 25:24; Jeremiah 46:9, Jeremiah 46:21).
Chub—the people named Kufa on the monuments [HAVERNICK], a people considerably north of Palestine [WILKINSON]; Coba or Chobat, a city of Mauritania [MAURER].
men of the land that is in league—too definite an expression to mean merely, "men in league" with Egypt; rather, "sons of the land of the covenant," that is, the Jews who migrated to Egypt and carried Jeremiah with them (Jer. 42:1-44:30). Even they shall not escape (Jeremiah 42:22; Jeremiah 44:14).
