1 The word of the LORD came to me again, saying, 2 "Son of man, prophesy and say, "Thus says the Lord GOD: "Wail, "Woe to the day!' 3 For the day is near, Even the day of the LORD is near; It will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles. 4 The sword shall come upon Egypt, And great anguish shall be in Ethiopia, When the slain fall in Egypt, And they take away her wealth, And her foundations are broken down. 5 "Ethiopia, Libya, [fn] Lydia, [fn] all the mingled people, Chub, and the men of the lands who are allied, shall fall with them by the sword." 6 "Thus says the LORD: "Those who uphold Egypt shall fall, And the pride of her power shall come down. From Migdol to Syene Those within her shall fall by the sword," Says the Lord GOD. 7 "They shall be desolate in the midst of the desolate countries, And her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are laid waste. 8 Then they will know that I am the LORD, When I have set a fire in Egypt And all her helpers are destroyed. 9 On that day messengers shall go forth from Me in ships To make the careless Ethiopians afraid, And great anguish shall come upon them, As on the day of Egypt; For indeed it is coming!" 10 "Thus says the Lord GOD: "I will also make a multitude of Egypt to cease By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate,.... Or among them, shall be ranked with them, and be as desolate as they are; as Judea and other countries, ravaged by the same enemy:
and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted; undergo the same fate as they have done, as Jerusalem and others. The cities of Egypt were very numerous; Diodorus Siculus n says, that in ancient times Egypt had cities and villages of note, more than 18,000. Herodotus o writes, that it was said, that under King Amasis there were 20,000 cities in it; and the first mentioned writer p says, under Ptolemy Lagus they were reckoned more than 30,000; and, according to Theocritus q, under Ptolemy Philadelphus they were 33,339.
