An Oracle Concerning Egypt

1An foracle concerning gEgypt.

Behold, the Lord his riding on a swift cloud
and comes to Egypt;
and ithe idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence,
and the heart of the Egyptians will jmelt within them.
2And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians,
kand they will fight, each against another
and each against his neighbor,
city against city, kingdom against kingdom;
3and the spirit of the Egyptians within them will be emptied out,
and I will confound
Or  I will swallow up
their mcounsel;
and they will inquire of the idols and the sorcerers,
and nthe mediums and the necromancers;
4and I will give over the Egyptians
into the hand of oa hard master,
and a fierce king will rule over them,
declares the Lord God of hosts.
5 And the waters of the sea will be dried up,
and the river will be dry and parched,
6and its canals will become foul,
and the branches of Egypt’s Nile will diminish and dry up,
reeds and rushes will rot away.
7There 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.
8The pfishermen will mourn and lament,
all who cast a hook in the Nile;
and they will languish
who spread nets on the water.
9The workers in qcombed flax will be in despair,
and the weavers of white cotton.
10Those who are the rpillars of the land will be crushed,
and all who swork for pay will be grieved.
11 The princes of tZoan 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”?
12Where then are your uwise men?
Let them tell you
that they might know what the Lord of hosts has purposed against Egypt.
13The princes of vZoan have become fools,
and the princes of wMemphis are deluded;
those who are the xcornerstones of her tribes
have made Egypt stagger.
14The Lord has mingled within her ya spirit of confusion,
and they will make Egypt stagger in all its deeds,
zas a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
15And there will be nothing for Egypt
that aahead or tail, palm branch or reed, may do.

Hosea 5:15

15 abI will return again to my place,
until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face,
and acin their distress earnestly seek me.

Hosea 6:2

2After two days adhe will revive us;
on the third day he will raise us up,
that we may live before him.

Hebrews 12:11

11 aeFor the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields afthe peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
