Isaiah 19

CHAPTER 19 The Vision of Egypt

1 The vision of Egypt. Behold, the lord sits upon [²cloud ¹a nimble], and shall come to Egypt. And [⁴shall be shaken ¹the ²handmade idols ³of Egypt] before his face, and their heart shall be vanquished in them. 2 And Egyptians shall be roused against Egyptians, and [²shall wage war against ¹every man] his brother, and every man against his neighbor; city against city, and abode against abode. 3 And [⁵shall be disturbed ¹the ²spirit ³of the ⁴Egyptians] in themselves; and [²their plan ¹I shall efface]. And they shall ask of their gods, and of their statues, and the ones [²from out of ³the ⁴earth ¹that speak out loud], and the ones delivering oracles. 4 And I will deliver up the Egyptian into the hands of men [²masters ¹being hard]; and [²kings ¹hard] shall lord over them. Thus says the lord of Hosts. 5 And [³shall drink ¹the ²Egyptians] water by the sea, for the river shall fail and shall dry up. 6 And [⁸shall fail ¹the ²rivers ³and ⁴the ⁵aqueducts ⁶of the ⁷river]; and [⁴shall be dried up ¹all ²the gathering ³of water], and in every marsh of reed and papyrus, 7 and [²the green ¹all] round about the river, and all the thing being sown throughout the river shall be dried, destroyed by the wind. 8 And [³shall moan ¹the ²fishermen]; and [⁸shall moan ¹all ²the ones ³throwing ⁴a hook ⁵into ⁶the ⁷river]; and the ones throwing dragnets and the casting-net fishermen shall mourn. 9 And shame shall take the ones working the [²flax ¹shredded], and the ones working the linen. 10 And [⁴will be ¹the ²ones working ³them] in grief; and all the ones making beer shall be fretful; and the souls shall cause pain. 11 And [⁴will be morons ¹the ²rulers ³of Tanis]; and the wise counselors of the king, their counsel will be moronish. How shall you say to the king, [²sons ³of discerning men ¹We are], sons of kings from the beginning? 12 Where are they now, your wise men? and let them announce to you, and say what [³planned ¹the lord ²of Hosts] against Egypt. 13 [⁴failed ¹The ²rulers ³of Tanis], and [⁴are haughty ¹the ²rulers ³of Memphis]; and they shall cause Egypt to wander and the tribes. 14 For the lord mixed for them a spirit addicted to a delusion; and they caused Egypt to wander in all its works, as [³wanders ¹the one ²being intoxicated] and the one vomitting together. 15 And there will not be [²for the ³Egyptians ¹work], which shall make head or tail, and beginning or end. 16 In that day [³will be ¹the ²Egyptians] as women, in fear and in trembling from in front of the hand of the lord of Hosts, which he shall put upon them. 17 And [⁵will be ¹the ²place ³of the ⁴Jews] to the Egyptians for a fearful thing; any one who might name it to them, they shall fear, because of the plan which the lord of Hosts planned against it.

Egypt, Assyria, and Israel Blessed

18 In that day there will be five cities in Egypt speaking the tongue of the Canaanites, and swearing by an oath to the name of the lord of Hosts. [⁵City ⁶of Asedek ⁴shall be called ¹The ²one ³city]. 19 In that day there will be an altar to the lord in the region of the Egyptians; and there will be a monument at its border to the lord. 20 And it will be for a sign into the eon to the lord in the place of Egypt; for they shall cry out to the lord because of the ones afflicting them; and he shall send to them a man who will deliver them; by judging he shall deliver them. 21 And [³made known ²will be ¹the lord] to the Egyptians; and [³shall know ¹the ²Egyptians] the lord in that day; and they shall make a sacrifice offering and a gift offering; and they shall vow vows to the lord, and shall render them. 22 And the lord shall strike the Egyptians with a calamity, and he shall heal them; and they shall be turned towards the lord; and he shall listen to them, and he shall heal them with healing. 23 In that day there will be a way of Egypt to the Assyrians; and [²shall enter ¹the Assyrians] into Egypt, and Egypt will go to the Assyrians, and [³shall serve ¹the ²Egyptians] to the Assyrians. 24 In that day Israel will be third with the Egyptians and with the Assyrians, being blessed in the land; 25 which [³blessed ¹the lord ²of Hosts], saying, Blessed be my people, the one in Egypt, and the one among the Assyrians, and my inheritance Israel.
