EZEKIEL 30:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.”
On that day messengers shall go out from before me in ships to terrify the unsuspecting Ethiopians; and anguish shall come upon them on the day of Egypt's doom; for, behold, it comes! introducing the eschatological 'day of Egypt's doom,' when news of her destruction will spread to distant lands, bringing fear to even isolated peoples. The messengers and ships suggest rapid communication of catastrophic news across maritime networks. The exclamation 'behold, it comes!' emphasizes the imminence and inevitability of the judgment.
