Isaiah

Chapter 19

1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud,

and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his

presence, and the heart 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

neighbour; 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 them that 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, saith the Lord, the LORD of

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

defence 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 they that cast angle into

the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters

shall languish.

9 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave

networks, shall be confounded.

10 And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make

sluices and ponds for fish.

11 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise

counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am

the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?

12 Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee

now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.

13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are

deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of

the tribes thereof.

14 The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof:

and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken

man staggereth 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 the LORD of

hosts, which he shaketh over it.

17 And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one

that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the

counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it.

18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the

language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be

called, The city of destruction.

19 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of

the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.

20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of

hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of

the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and

he shall deliver them.

21 And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall

know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea,

they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it.

22 And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and

they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated 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 the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my

people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
