“Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!”
A sword shall come upon Egypt, and anguish shall come upon Cush; when the slain fall in Egypt, her wealth will be carried away and her foundations will be torn down, describing the specific judgments that will befall Egypt and Cush (Ethiopia/Sudan), Egypt's southern neighbor. The sword, the plunder, and the demolition of foundations suggest total military conquest and destruction of the social order.
