Isaiah 19:18-25

18 ^aIn that day there will be ^bfive cities in the land of Egypt that ^cspeak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the Lord of hosts. One of these will be called the City of Destruction. ^{▼▼Dead Sea Scroll and some other manuscripts City of the Sun}

19 In that day there will be an ^ealtar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a ^fpillar to the Lord at its border. 20 ^gIt 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, ^hhe will send them a savior and defender, and deliver them. 21 ⁱAnd the Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians will know the Lord in that day ^jand worship with sacrifice and offering, and they will make vows to the Lord and perform them. 22 ^kAnd 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.

23 ^lIn that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt into Assyria, ^mand the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.

24 In that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, ⁿa blessing in the midst of the earth, 25 whom the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying, “Blessed be Egypt ^omy people, and Assyria ^pthe work of my hands, and ^qIsrael my inheritance.”
