Ezekiel 30:3

30:3 For the day is near,

the day of the Lord is near;

it will be a day of storm clouds, ¹ 

it will be a time of judgment ²  for the nations.

Isaiah 19:1

The Lord Will Judge Egypt

19:1 Here is a message about Egypt:

Look, the Lord rides on a swift-moving cloud

and approaches Egypt.

The idols of Egypt tremble before him;

the Egyptians lose their courage. ³ 

[30:3]  ¹ tn Heb “a day of clouds.” The expression occurs also in Joel 2:2 and Zeph 1:15; it recalls the appearance of God at Mount Sinai (Exod 19:9, 16, 18).

[30:3]  ² tn Heb “a time.” The words “of judgment” have been added in the translation for clarification (see the following verses).

[19:1]  ³ tn Heb “and the heart of Egypt melts within it.”
