An Oracle against Egypt

19An oracle against Egypt: Look, the LORD rides on a swift cloud and is coming to Egypt. Egypt's idols will tremble before Him, and Egypt's heart will melt within it.H4853H4714H3068H7392H7031H5645H935H4714H457H4714H5128H6440H3824H4714H4549H7130 2I will provoke Egypt against Egypt; each will fight against his brother and each against his friend, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.H5526H4714H4714H3898H376H251H376H7453H5892H5892H4467H4467 3Egypt's spirit will be disturbed within it, and I will frustrate its plans. Then they will seek idols, ghosts, spirits of the dead, and spiritists.H7307H4714H1238H7130H1104H6098H1875H457H328H178H3049 4I will deliver Egypt into the hands of harsh masters, and a strong king will rule it. [This is] the declaration of the Lord God of Hosts.H853H4714H5534H3027H7186H113H5794H4428H4910H5002H113H3068H6635 5The waters of the sea will dry up, and the river will be parched and dry.H4325H5405H3220H5104H2717H3001 6The channels will stink; they will dwindle, and Egypt's canals will be parched. Reed and rush will die.H2186H5104H2186H2975H4693H1809H2717H7070H5488H7060 7The reeds by the Nile, by the mouth of the river, and all the cultivated areas of the Nile will wither, blow away, and vanish.H6169H2975H6310H2975H4218H2975H3001H5086 8Then the fishermen will mourn. All those who cast hooks into the Nile will lament, and those who spread nets on the water will shrivel up.H1771H578H7993H2443H2975H56H6566H4365H6440H4325H535 9Those who work with flax will be dismayed; the combers and weavers will turn pale.H5647H8305H6593H707H2355H954 10[Egypt's] weavers will be dejected; all her wage earners will be demoralized.H1792H8356H6213H7938H99H5315 11The princes of Zoan are complete fools; Pharaoh's wisest advisers give stupid advice! How can you say to Pharaoh, "I am one of the wise, a student of eastern kings."H8269H6814H191H6098H2450H3289H6547H1197H559H6547H1121H2450H1121H6924H4428 12Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you and reveal what the LORD of Hosts has planned against Egypt.H335H645H2450H5046H3045H3068H6635H3289H4714 13The princes of Zoan have been fools; the princes of Memphis are deceived. Her tribal chieftains have led Egypt astray.H8269H6814H2973H8269H5297H5377H8582H4714H6438H7626 14The LORD has mixed within her a spirit of confusion. [The leaders] have made Egypt stagger in all she does, as a drunkard staggers in his vomit.H3068H4537H5773H7307H7130H4714H8582H4639H7910H8582H6892 15No head or tail, palm or reed, will be able to do anything for Egypt.H4639H4714H7218H2180H3712H100H6213

Egypt Will Know the Lord

16On that day Egypt will be like women. She will tremble with fear because of the threatening hand of the LORD of Hosts when He raises it against her.H3117H4714H802H2729H6342H6440H8573H3027H3068H6635H5130 17The land of Judah will terrify Egypt; whenever Judah is mentioned, Egypt will tremble because of what the LORD of Hosts has planned against it.H127H3063H2283H4714H2142H6342H6440H6098H3068H6635H3289 18On that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear loyalty to the LORD of Hosts. One of the cities will be called the City of the Sun.H3117H2568H5892H776H4714H1696H8193H3667H7650H3068H6635H259H559H5892H2041 19On that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the center of the land of Egypt and a pillar to the LORD near her border.H3117H4196H3068H8432H776H4714H4676H681H1366H3068 20It will be a sign and witness to the LORD of Hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, He will send them a savior and leader, and he will rescue them.H226H5707H3068H6635H776H4714H6817H3068H6440H3905H7971H3467H7227H5337 21The LORD will make Himself known to Egypt, and Egypt will know the LORD on that day. They will offer sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the LORD and fulfill them.H3068H3045H4714H4714H3045H3068H3117H5647H2077H4503H5087H5088H3068H7999 22The LORD will strike Egypt, striking and healing. Then they will return to the LORD and He will hear their prayers and heal them.H3068H5062H4714H5062H7495H7725H3068H6279H7495 23On that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. Assyria will go to Egypt, Egypt to Assyria, and Egypt will worship with Assyria.H3117H4546H4714H804H804H935H4714H4714H804H4714H5647H804 24On that day Israel will form a triple [alliance] with Egypt and Assyria— a blessing within the land.H3117H3478H7992H4714H804H1293H7130H776 25The LORD of Hosts will bless them, saying, "Blessed be Egypt My people, Assyria My handiwork, and Israel My inheritance."H3068H6635H1288H559H1288H4714H5971H804H4639H3027H3478H5159
