Contextual Overview

1 The word of the Lord came to me again. He said, 2 "Son of man, speak for me. Say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: "‘Cry and say, "A terrible day is coming." 3 That day is near! Yes, the Lord 's day for judging is near. It will be a cloudy day, the time for judging the nations. 4 A sword will come against Egypt! People in Ethiopia will shake with fear, when Egypt falls. The army of Babylon will take the Egyptians as prisoners. Egypt's foundations will be torn down. 5 "‘Many people made peace agreements with Egypt. But all those people from Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all Arabia, Libya, and the people of Israel will be destroyed! 6 "‘This is what the Lord says: Those who support Egypt will fall! The pride in her power will end. The people in Egypt will be killed in battle, all the way from Migdol to Aswan. This is what the Lord God said! 7 Egypt will join the other countries that were destroyed. Its cities will be among those that are in ruins. 8 I will start a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers will be destroyed. Then they will know that I am the Lord ! 9 "‘At that time I will send out messengers. They will go in ships to carry the bad news to Ethiopia. Ethiopia now feels safe, but the people of Ethiopia will shake with fear when Egypt is punished. That time is coming!'" 10 This is what the Lord God says: "I will use the king of Babylon. I will use Nebuchadnezzar to destroy the people of Egypt.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He and his people with him,.... He and his army, consisting chiefly of Chaldeans; though there were of other nations among them, as were in his army when he besieged Jerusalem, as seems to be suggested in the next clause:

the terrible of the nations shall be brought to destroy the land; the Chaldeans, the most fierce, cruel, and terrible of all people, and others the most terrible that could be collected out of all nations under the yoke of the king of Babylon; and all of them terrible to the nations against whom they came, as now against Egypt to destroy it; see Habakkuk 1:6:

and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain; go through the land with their drawn swords, and kill all they meet; and not put them up till they have quite depopulated the land, and filled it with dead carcasses.
