Chapter 19

1


 

  The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and will come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.  

 

 

--

2


 

  And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.  

 

 

--

3


 

  And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of her, and I will destroy her counsel: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.  

 

 

--

4


 

  And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.  

 

 

--

5


 

  And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the rivers shall be wasted and dried up.  

 

 

--

6


 

  And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defense shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.  

 

 

--

7


 

  The paper-reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.  

 

 

--

8


 

  The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.  

 

 

--

9


 

  Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave net-works shall be confounded.  

 

 

--

10


 

  And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.  

 

 

--

11


 

  Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counselors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?  

 

 

--

12


 

  Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.  

 

 

--

13


 

  The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the support of its tribes.  

 

 

--

14


 

  The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst of it: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work of it, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may perform.  

 

 

--

16


 

  In that day shall Egypt be like women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shaketh over it.  

 

 

--

17


 

  And the land of Judah shall be a terror to Egypt, every one that maketh mention of it shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it.  

 

 

--

18


 

  In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.  

 

 

--

19


 

  In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at its border to the LORD.  

 

 

--

20


 

  And it shall be for a sign and for a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry to the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a savior, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.  

 

 

--

21


 

  And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yes, they shall vow a vow to the LORD, and perform it.  

 

 

--

22


 

  And the LORD will smite Egypt: he will smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he will be entreated by them, and will heal them.  

 

 

--

23


 

  In that day shall there be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.  

 

 

--

24


 

  In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:  

 

 

--

25


 

  Whom the LORD of hosts will bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.
