Chapter 19

¹An oracle concerning Egypt. Behold, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud and comes to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence, and the heart of Egypt will melt within it. ²And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians, and every one will fight against his brother and every one against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom. ³And the spirit of the Egyptians within them will be emptied out, and I will bring their counsel to nothing; and they will consult the idols and the necromancers and the mediums and the sorcerers. ⁴And I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a hard master, and a fierce king will rule over them, declares the Lord GOD of hosts. ⁵And the waters of the Nile will be dried up, and the river will be parched and dry; ⁶and its canals will become foul, and the branches of the Nile will diminish and dry up, and reeds and rushes will rot away. ⁷There will be bare places by the Nile, on the banks of the Nile, and everything sown by the Nile will be parched, swept away, and be no more. ⁸The fishermen will mourn and lament, all who cast hooks in the Nile, and those who spread nets on the waters will languish. ⁹The workers in combed flax will be in despair, and the weavers of white cotton. ¹⁰Those who are the pillars of the land will be crushed, and all who work for hire will be grieved. ¹¹The princes of Zoan 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 wise men? Let them tell you now; let them make known what the LORD of hosts has planned against Egypt. ¹³The princes of Zoan have become fools, and the princes of Memphis are deceived; those who are the cornerstones of her tribes have led Egypt astray. ¹⁴The LORD has mingled within her a spirit of confusion, and they have made Egypt stagger in all its deeds, as a drunken man staggers in his vomit. ¹⁵And there will be no work for Egypt that head or tail, palm branch or reed, may do. ¹⁶In that day the Egyptians will be like women, and tremble with fear before the hand that the LORD of hosts shakes over them. ¹⁷And the land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt. Everyone to whom it is mentioned will fear because of the purpose of the LORD of hosts that he has purposed against it. ¹⁸In that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the LORD of hosts. One of these will be called the City of Destruction. ¹⁹In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD at its border. ²⁰It 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, he will send them a savior and defender, and deliver them. ²¹And the LORD will make himself known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians will know the LORD in that day and worship with sacrifice and offering, and they will make vows to the LORD and perform them. ²²And 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. ²³In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians. ²⁴In that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth, ²⁵whom the LORD of hosts has blessed, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.”
