Ezekiel 30:2

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Son of man, prophesy and say, thus saith the Lord God,.... Prophesy against Egypt's king and inhabitants, and in the name of the Lord thus speak against them:howl ye; ye Egyptians, and also ye Ethiopians, and all others after named, which should share in the destruction of Egypt; this is said to give them notice of it, and prepare them for it:woe worth the day!

or, "alas for the day!" O the unhappy day! what a sad dismal day is this! O that we should ever live to see such wretched times!
