Isaiah, Chapter 19,  verses 1-17

1 Thea Or burden oforacle concerning Egypt.
Behold, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud and is about to come to Egypt;
The idols of Egypt will tremble at His presence,
And the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them.
2 “So I will incite Egyptians against Egyptians;
And they will each fight against his brother and each against his neighbor,
City against city and kingdom against kingdom.
3 “Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be demoralized within them;
And I will confound their strategy,
So that they will resort to idols and ghosts of the dead
And tob Or ghosts and spiritsmediums and spiritists.
4 “Moreover, I will deliver the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel master,
And ac Or fiercemighty king will rule over them,” declares the Lordd Heb YHWH, usually rendered LordGOD of hosts.
5 The waters from the sea will dry up,
And the river will be parched and dry.
6 Thee Lit riverscanals will emit a stench,
Thef Or Nile branches; i.e. the deltastreams of Egypt will thin out and dry up;
The reeds and rushes will rot away.
7 The bulrushes by the Nile, by theg Or mouthedge of the Nile
And all the sown fields by the Nile
Will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
8 And the fishermen will lament,
And all those who cast ah Lit hookline into the Nile will mourn,
And those who spread nets on the waters willi Or languishpine away.
9 Moreover, the manufacturers of linen made from combed flax
And the weavers of white cloth will bej Lit ashamedutterly dejected.
10 Andk Lit her pillars or, her weaversthe pillars of Egypt will be crushed;
All the hired laborers will be grieved in soul.
11 The princes ofl Or TanisZoan are mere fools;
The advice of Pharaoh’s wisest advisers has becomem Or brutishstupid.
How can you men say to Pharaoh,
“I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings”?
12 Well then, where are your wise men?
Please let them tell you,
And let themn Or knowunderstand what the LORD of hosts
Has purposed against Egypt.
13 The princes ofo Or TanisZoan have acted foolishly,
The princes of Memphis are deluded;
Those who are the cornerstone of her tribes
Havep Or have caused Egypt to staggerled Egypt astray.
14 The LORD has mixed within her a spirit of distortion;
They have led Egypt astray in allq Lit its workthat it does,
As a drunken manr Or goes astraystaggers in his vomit.
15 There will be no work for Egypt
Which its head or tail, its palm branch or bulrush, may do.
16 In that day the Egyptians will become like women, and they will tremble and be in dread because of the waving of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which He is going to wave over them. 17 The land of Judah will become as Or cause of shameterror to Egypt; everyonet Lit who mentions it will be in dread to itto whom it is mentioned will be in dread of it, because of the purpose of the LORD of hosts which He is purposing against them.
