Isaiah 19:25 - Prayer Tents

God Will Punish Egypt

19This is a message about Egypt. The LORD is coming to Egypt, riding swiftly on a cloud. The Egyptian idols tremble before him, and the people of Egypt lose their courage.H4853H4714H3068H7392H7031H5645H935H4714H457H4714H5128H6440H3824H4714H4549H7130

2The LORD says, "I will stir up civil war in Egypt and turn brother against brother and neighbor against neighbor. Rival cities will fight each other, and rival kings will struggle for power.H5526H4714H4714H3898H376H251H376H7453H5892H5892H4467H4467

3I am going to frustrate the plans of the Egyptians and destroy their morale. They will ask their idols to help them, and they will go and consult mediums and ask the spirits of the dead for advice.H7307H4714H1238H7130H1104H6098H1875H457H328H178H3049

4I will hand the Egyptians over to a tyrant, to a cruel king who will rule them. I, the LORD Almighty, have spoken."H853H4714H5534H3027H7186H113H5794H4428H4910H5002H113H3068H6635

5The water will be low in the Nile, and the river will gradually dry up.H4325H5405H3220H5104H2717H3001

6The channels of the river will stink as they slowly go dry. Reeds and rushes will wither,H2186H5104H2186H2975H4693H1809H2717H7070H5488H7060

7and all the crops planted along the banks of the Nile will dry up and be blown away.H6169H2975H6310H2975H4218H2975H3001H5086

8Everyone who earns a living by fishing in the Nile will groan and cry; their hooks and their nets will be useless.H1771H578H7993H2443H2975H56H6566H4365H6440H4325H535

9Those who make linen cloth will be in despair;H5647H8305H6593H707H2355H954

10weavers and skilled workers will be broken and depressed.H1792H8356H6213H7938H99H5315

11The leaders of the city of Zoan are fools! Egypt's wisest people give stupid advice! How do they dare to tell the king that they are successors to the ancient scholars and kings?H8269H6814H191H6098H2450H3289H6547H1197H559H6547H1121H2450H1121H6924H4428

12King of Egypt, where are those clever advisers of yours? Perhaps they can tell you what plans the LORD Almighty has for Egypt.H335H645H2450H5046H3045H3068H6635H3289H4714

13The leaders of Zoan and Memphis are fools. They were supposed to lead the nation, but they have misled it.H8269H6814H2973H8269H5297H5377H8582H4714H6438H7626

14The LORD has made them give confusing advice. As a result, Egypt does everything wrong and staggers like a drunk slipping on his own vomit.H3068H4537H5773H7307H7130H4714H8582H4639H7910H8582H6892

15No one in Egypt, rich or poor, important or unknown, can offer help.H4639H4714H7218H2180H3712H100H6213

Egypt Will Worship the Lord

16A time is coming when the people of Egypt will be as timid as women. They will tremble in terror when they see that the LORD Almighty has stretched out his hand to punish them.H3117H4714H802H2729H6342H6440H8573H3027H3068H6635H5130

17The people of Egypt will be terrified of Judah every time they are reminded of the fate that the LORD Almighty has prepared for them.H127H3063H2283H4714H2142H6342H6440H6098H3068H6635H3289

18When that time comes, the Hebrew language will be spoken in five Egyptian cities. The people there will take their oaths in the name of the LORD Almighty. One of the cities will be called, "City of the Sun."H3117H2568H5892H776H4714H1696H8193H3667H7650H3068H6635H259H559H5892H2041

19When that time comes, there will be an altar to the LORD in the land of Egypt and a stone pillar dedicated to him at the Egyptian border.H3117H4196H3068H8432H776H4714H4676H681H1366H3068

20They will be symbols of the LORD Almighty's presence in Egypt. When the people there are oppressed and call out to the LORD for help, he will send someone to rescue them.H226H5707H3068H6635H776H4714H6817H3068H6440H3905H7971H3467H7227H5337

21The LORD will reveal himself to the Egyptian people, and then they will acknowledge and worship him, and bring him sacrifices and offerings. They will make solemn promises to him and do what they promise.H3068H3045H4714H4714H3045H3068H3117H5647H2077H4503H5087H5088H3068H7999

22The LORD will punish the Egyptians, but then he will heal them. They will turn to him, and he will hear their prayers and heal them.H3068H5062H4714H5062H7495H7725H3068H6279H7495

23When that time comes, there will be a highway between Egypt and Assyria. The people of these two countries will travel back and forth between them, and the two nations will worship together.H3117H4546H4714H804H804H935H4714H4714H804H4714H5647H804

24When that time comes, Israel will rank with Egypt and Assyria, and these three nations will be a blessing to all the world.H3117H3478H7992H4714H804H1293H7130H776

25The LORD Almighty will bless them and say, "I will bless you, Egypt, my people; you, Assyria, whom I created; and you, Israel, my chosen people."H3068H6635H1288H559H1288H4714H5971H804H4639H3027H3478H5159
