Thus saith the Lord, Howl ye, &c. The prophet addresses the inhabitants of Egypt. Wo worth the day Ah! the day: alas! what sad times are approaching. Even the day of the Lord The time of God's vengeance, wherein he will manifest his sore displeasure against Egypt and its allies; a cloudy day A day that shall be dismal with calamities. Times of trouble have often this appellation. It shall be the time of the heathen Wherein they shall be punished. Great pain shall be upon Ethiopia Great trouble and distress; when the slain shall fall in Egypt By the sword of the Chaldeans; and they shall take away her multitude Shall carry multitudes of them captive to Babylon; and her foundations shall be broken down Her strong forts and citadels; or her government, laws, and all the supports and defences of her commonwealth.
