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
For the day is near,.... The day of Egypt's destruction, the time fixed for it:
even the day of the Lord is near; the day appointed by him, and in which he would make himself known by the judgments he executed: Kimchi observes, that, the same year this prophecy was delivered, Egypt was given into the hands of the king of Babylon:
a cloudy day; or; "a day of cloud" e; which was seldom seen in Egypt in a literal sense, rarely having any rain, their country being watered by the Nile; but now, in a figurative sense, the clouds would gather thick and black, and threaten with a horrible tempest of divine wrath, and of ruin and destruction:
it shall be the time of the Heathen: both when the Heathen nation of the Chaldeans should distress and conquer others; and when Heathen nations, as the Egyptians, Ethiopians, and others, should be destroyed by them. The Targum is,
"it shall be the time of the breaking or destruction of the people.''
e יום ענן "dies nubis", V. L. Pagniaus, Montanus, Cocceius, Starckius.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The time of the pagan - The time when the pagan (Egyptians) shall be judged.
