19:1 An
oracle
concerning
Egypt.
Behold,
the
LORD
is
riding
on
a
swift
cloud
and
comes
to
Egypt;
and
the
idols
of
Egypt
will
tremble
at
his
presence,
and
the
heart
of
the
Egyptians
will
melt
within
them.
19:2 And
I
will
stir
up
Egyptians
against
Egyptians,
and
they
will
fight,
each
against
another
and
each
against
his
neighbor,
city
against
city,
kingdom
against
kingdom;
19:3 and
the
spirit
of
the
Egyptians
within
them
will
be
emptied
out,
and
I
will
confound
their
counsel;
and
they
will
inquire
of
the
idols
and
the
sorcerers,
and
the
mediums
and
the
necromancers;
19:4 and
I
will
give
over
the
Egyptians
into
the
hand
of
a
hard
master,
and
a
fierce
king
will
rule
over
them,
declares
the
Lord
GOD
of
hosts.
19:5 And
the
waters
of
the
sea
will
be
dried
up,
and
the
river
will
be
dry
and
parched,
19:6 and
its
canals
will
become
foul,
and
the
branches
of
Egypt's
Nile
will
diminish
and
dry
up,
reeds
and
rushes
will
rot
away.
19:7 There
will
be
bare
places
by
the
Nile,
on
the
brink
of
the
Nile,
and
all
that
is
sown
by
the
Nile
will
be
parched,
will
be
driven
away,
and
will
be
no
more.
19:8 The
fishermen
will
mourn
and
lament,
all
who
cast
a
hook
in
the
Nile;
and
they
will
languish
who
spread
nets
on
the
water.
19:9 The
workers
in
combed
flax
will
be
in
despair,
and
the
weavers
of
white
cotton.
19:10 Those
who
are
the
pillars
of
the
land
will
be
crushed,
and
all
who
work
for
pay
will
be
grieved.
19:11 The
princes
of
Zoan
are
utterly
foolish;
the
wisest
counselors
of
Pharaoh
give
stupid
counsel.
How
can
you
say
to
Pharaoh,
"I
am
a
son
of
the
wise,
a
son
of
ancient
kings"
19:12 Where
then
are
your
wise
men
Let
them
tell
you
that
they
might
know
what
the
LORD
of
hosts
has
purposed
against
Egypt.
19:13 The
princes
of
Zoan
have
become
fools,
and
the
princes
of
Memphis
are
deluded;
those
who
are
the
cornerstones
of
her
tribes
have
made
Egypt
stagger.
19:14 The
LORD
has
mingled
within
her
a
spirit
of
confusion,
and
they
will
make
Egypt
stagger
in
all
its
deeds,
as
a
drunken
man
staggers
in
his
vomit.
19:15 And
there
will
be
nothing
for
Egypt
that
head
or
tail,
palm
branch
or
reed,
may
do.
19:16 In
that
day
the
Egyptians
will
be
like
women,
and
tremble
with
fear
before
the
hand
that
the
LORD
of
hosts
shakes
over
them.
19:17 And
the
land
of
Judah
will
become
a
terror
to
the
Egyptians.
Everyone
to
whom
it
is
mentioned
will
fear
because
of
the
purpose
that
the
LORD
of
hosts
has
purposed
against
them.
19:18 In
that
day
there
will
be
five
cities
in
the
land
of
Egypt
that
speak
the
language
of
Canaan
and
swear
allegiance
to
the
LORD
of
hosts.
One
of
these
will
be
called
the
City
of
Destruction.
19:19 In
that
day
there
will
be
an
altar
to
the
LORD
in
the
midst
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
a
pillar
to
the
LORD
at
its
border.
19:20 It
will
be
a
sign
and
a
witness
to
the
LORD
of
hosts
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
When
they
cry
to
the
LORD
because
of
oppressors,
he
will
send
them
a
savior
and
defender,
and
deliver
them.
19:21 And
the
LORD
will
make
himself
known
to
the
Egyptians,
and
the
Egyptians
will
know
the
LORD
in
that
day
and
worship
with
sacrifice
and
offering,
and
they
will
make
vows
to
the
LORD
and
perform
them.
19:22 And
the
LORD
will
strike
Egypt,
striking
and
healing,
and
they
will
return
to
the
LORD,
and
he
will
listen
to
their
pleas
for
mercy
and
heal
them.
19:23 In
that
day
there
will
be
a
highway
from
Egypt
to
Assyria,
and
Assyria
will
come
into
Egypt,
and
Egypt
into
Assyria,
and
the
Egyptians
will
worship
with
the
Assyrians.
19:24 In
that
day
Israel
will
be
the
third
with
Egypt
and
Assyria,
a
blessing
in
the
midst
of
the
earth,
19:25 whom
the
LORD
of
hosts
has
blessed,
saying,
"Blessed
be
Egypt
my
people,
and
Assyria
the
work
of
my
hands,
and
Israel
my
inheritance."
