Contextual Overview
1 The word of Adonai came to me: 2 "Human being, prophesy; say that Adonai Elohim says, ‘Wail, "Oh no! It's today!" 3 For the day is near, the Day of Adonai , a day of clouds, the time of the Goyim. 4 The sword will come against Egypt, and Ethiopia will be in anguish, when the slain fall in Egypt, when they take away her wealth, and her foundations are torn down. 5 Ethiopia, Put and Lud, all the mixed population and Kuv, and the people of allied lands will die by the sword with them.' 6 " Adonai says this: ‘Those supporting Egypt will fall; its arrogant power will be brought down; from Migdol to S'venah they will die by the sword,' says Adonai Elohim . 7 "They will be desolate even when compared with other desolate countries, likewise her cities in comparison with other ruined cities. 8 They will know that I am Adonai when I set fire to Egypt, and those supporting it are destroyed. 9 When that day comes, I will send out messengers in ships to terrify the unsuspecting Ethiopians; and anguish will overcome them on the day of Egypt. Yes, here it comes! 10 "Adonai Elohim says: ‘I will destroy the hordes of Egypt through N'vukhadretzar king of Bavel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Son of man, prophesy and say, thus saith the Lord God,.... Prophesy against Egypt's king and inhabitants, and in the name of the Lord thus speak against them:
howl ye; ye Egyptians, and also ye Ethiopians, and all others after named, which should share in the destruction of Egypt; this is said to give them notice of it, and prepare them for it:
woe worth the day! or, "alas for the day!" d O the unhappy day! what a sad dismal day is this! O that we should ever live to see such wretched times!
d ×× ×××× "bah diei", Munster, Vatablus; "heu diei", Cocceius, Starckius.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 30:2. Howl ye, Wo worth the day! — My Old MS. Bible, - Soule gee, woo woo to the day! ×××××× ×× ×××× heylilu, hah laiyom! "Howl ye, Alas for the day!" The reading in our present text is taken from Coverdale's Bible, 1535. The expressions signify that a most dreadful calamity was about to fall on Egypt and the neighbouring countries, called here the "time of the heathen," or of the nations; the day of calamity to them. They are afterwards specified, Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, and Chub, and the mingled people, probably persons from different nations, who had followed the ill fortune of Pharaoh-hophra or Pharaoh-apries, when he fled from Amasis, and settled in Upper Egypt.
