19The oracle concerning Egypt. Behold, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud, and is about to come to Egypt; The idols of Egypt will tremble at His presence, And the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them.H4853H4714H3068H7392H7031H5645H935H4714H457H4714H5128H6440H3824H4714H4549H7130 2"So I will incite Egyptians against Egyptians; And they will each fight against his brother, and each against his neighbor, City against city, [ and] kingdom against kingdom.H5526H4714H4714H3898H376H251H376H7453H5892H5892H4467H4467 3"Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be demoralized within them; And I will confound their strategy, So that they will resort to idols and ghosts of the dead, And to mediums and spiritists.H7307H4714H1238H7130H1104H6098H1875H457H328H178H3049 4"Moreover, I will deliver the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel master, And a mighty king will rule over them," declares the Lord GOD of hosts.H853H4714H5534H3027H7186H113H5794H4428H4910H5002H113H3068H6635 5And the waters from the sea will dry up, And the river will be parched and dry.H4325H5405H3220H5104H2717H3001 6And the canals will emit a stench, The streams of Egypt will thin out and dry up; The reeds and rushes will rot away.H2186H5104H2186H2975H4693H1809H2717H7070H5488H7060 7The bulrushes by the Nile, by the edge of the Nile And all the sown fields by the Nile Will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.H6169H2975H6310H2975H4218H2975H3001H5086 8And the fishermen will lament, And all those who cast a line into the Nile will mourn, And those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.H1771H578H7993H2443H2975H56H6566H4365H6440H4325H535 9Moreover, the manufacturers of linen made from combed flax And the weavers of white cloth will be utterly dejected.H5647H8305H6593H707H2355H954 10And the pillars [of Egypt] will be crushed; All the hired laborers will be grieved in soul.H1792H8356H6213H7938H99H5315 11The princes of Zoan are mere fools; The advice of Pharaoh's wisest advisers has become stupid. How can you [men] say to Pharaoh, "I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings"?H8269H6814H191H6098H2450H3289H6547H1197H559H6547H1121H2450H1121H6924H4428 12Well then, where are your wise men? Please let them tell you, And let them understand what the LORD of hosts Has purposed against Egypt.H335H645H2450H5046H3045H3068H6635H3289H4714 13The princes of Zoan have acted foolishly, The princes of Memphis are deluded; [Those who are] the cornerstone of her tribes Have led Egypt astray.H8269H6814H2973H8269H5297H5377H8582H4714H6438H7626 14The LORD has mixed within her a spirit of distortion; They have led Egypt astray in all that it does, As a drunken man staggers in his vomit.H3068H4537H5773H7307H7130H4714H8582H4639H7910H8582H6892 15And there will be no work for Egypt Which [its] head or tail, [its] palm branch or bulrush, may do.H4639H4714H7218H2180H3712H100H6213 16In that day the Egyptians will become like women, and they will tremble and be in dread because of the waving of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which He is going to wave over them.H3117H4714H802H2729H6342H6440H8573H3027H3068H6635H5130 17And the land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt; everyone to whom it is mentioned will be in dread of it, because of the purpose of the LORD of hosts which He is purposing against them.H127H3063H2283H4714H2142H6342H6440H6098H3068H6635H3289 18In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will be speaking the language of Canaan and swearing [allegiance] to the LORD of hosts; one will be called the City of Destruction.H3117H2568H5892H776H4714H1696H8193H3667H7650H3068H6635H259H559H5892H2041 19In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD near its border.H3117H4196H3068H8432H776H4714H4676H681H1366H3068 20And it will become a sign and a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the LORD because of oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Champion, and He will deliver them.H226H5707H3068H6635H776H4714H6817H3068H6440H3905H7971H3467H7227H5337 21Thus the LORD will make Himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the LORD in that day. They will even worship with sacrifice and offering, and will make a vow to the LORD and perform it.H3068H3045H4714H4714H3045H3068H3117H5647H2077H4503H5087H5088H3068H7999 22And the LORD will strike Egypt, striking but healing; so they will return to the LORD, and He will respond to them and will heal them.H3068H5062H4714H5062H7495H7725H3068H6279H7495 23In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrians will come into Egypt and the Egyptians into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.H3117H4546H4714H804H804H935H4714H4714H804H4714H5647H804 24In that day Israel will be the third [party] with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth,H3117H3478H7992H4714H804H1293H7130H776 25whom the LORD of hosts has blessed, saying, "Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance."H3068H6635H1288H559H1288H4714H5971H804H4639H3027H3478H5159
