Isaiah
Chapter 19
1 The burden of Egypt.
Behold,
Jehovah/God rides upon a swift cloud,
and
shall come into Egypt.
And
the idols of Egypt shall be moved at His presence,
and
the heart/'right lobe' of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
2 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians.
And
they shall fight every one against his brother,
and
every one against his neighbor;
city
against city,
and
kingdom against kingdom.
3
And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof;
and
I will destroy the counsel thereof.
And
they shall seek to the idols,
and
to the charmers,
and
to those who have familiar spirits,
and
to the wizards.
4
And the Egyptians
will
I give over into the hand of a cruel lord
and
a fierce king shall rule over them,"
said
the Lord/'Adown . . .
Jehovah/God
of the armies/hosts.
5
And the waters shall fail from the sea,
and
the river shall be wasted and dried up.
6
And they shall turn the rivers far away
and
the brooks of defense
shall
be emptied and dried up.
The reeds and flags shall wither.
7
The paper reeds by the brooks,
by
the mouth of the brooks,
and
every thing sown by the brooks,
shall
wither, be driven away, and be no more.
8
The fishers also shall mourn,
and
all those who cast angle into the brooks shall lament,
and
those who spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
9
Moreover those who work in fine flax,
and
those who weave networks,
shall
be confounded.
10
And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof,
all
who make sluices and ponds for fish.
11
Surely the princes of Zoan are fools,
the
counsel of the wise counselors of Pharaoh
has
become brutish.
How
say you unto Pharaoh,
I
am the son of the wise,
the
son of ancient kings?
12 Where are they?
Where are your wise men?
And
let them tell you now,
and
let them know
what
Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts
has
purposed upon Egypt.
13
The princes of Zoan are become fools,
the
princes of Noph are deceived.
They
have also seduced Egypt,
even
those who are the stay of the tribes thereof.
14
Jehovah/God has mingled a perverse spirit
in
the midst thereof.
And
they have caused Egypt to err
in
every work thereof,
as
a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
15
Neither shall there be any work for Egypt,
which
the head or tail,
branch
or rush, may do.
16
In that day
shall
Egypt be like unto women
and
it shall be afraid and fear
because
of the shaking of the hand
of
Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts,
which
He shakes over it.
17
And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt,
every
one who makes mention thereof
shall
be afraid in himself,
because
of the counsel
of
Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts,
which
He has determined against it.
18
In that day
shall
five cities in the land of Egypt
speak
the language of Canaan,
and
swear to Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts.
One shall be called, 'The City of Destruction'.
19
In that day
shall
there be an altar to Jehovah/God
in
the midst of the land of Egypt,
and
a pillar at the border thereof to Jehovah/God.
20
And it shall be for a sign
and
for a witness unto Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts
in
the land of Egypt
for
they shall cry unto Jehovah/God
because
of the oppressors,
and
He shall send them a Deliverer/Savior,
and
a great one, and He shall deliver them.
21
And Jehovah/God shall be known to Egypt,
and
the Egyptians shall know Jehovah/God
in
that day,
and
shall do sacrifice and oblation.
Yes,
they shall vow a vow unto Jehovah/God,
and
perform it.
22 And Jehovah/God shall smite Egypt.
He shall smite and heal it.
And
they shall return even to Jehovah/God,
and
he shall be entreated of them, and shall heal them.
23
In that day
shall
there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria,
and
the Assyrian shall come into Egypt,
and
the Egyptian into Assyria,
and
the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
24
In that day
shall
Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria,
even
a blessing in the midst of the land.
25
Whom Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts
shall
bless, saying,
"Blessed
be Egypt My people,
and
Assyria the work of My hands,
and
Israel My inheritance."
