Isaiah 19 📜 📕 ↷
Burden against Egypt
1 THE burden of AEgypt. Behold our Lord will ascend upon a swift cloud, and will enter into AEgypt, and the idols of AEgypt shall be moved at his presence, & the heart of AEgypt shall melt in the midst thereof.📜💬📚
2 And I will make the AEgyptians to run together against the AEgyptians: and a man shall fight against his brother, & every man against his friend, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.📜💬📚
3 And the spirit of AEgypt shall be broken in the bowels thereof, & I will overthrow their counsel headlong: and they shall ask their idols, & their diviners, and Pythons, and Soothsayers.📜💬📚
4 And I will deliver AEgypt into the hand of cruel masters, and a strong king shall rule over them, saith our Lord the God of hosts.📜💬📚
5 And the water of the sea shall be dried up, & the river shall be made desolate, and dry.📜💬📚
6 And the rivers shall fail: the rivers of the rampiers shall be diminished, & dried up. The reed and bulrush shall wither:📜💬📚
7 the channel of the river shall be spoiled of his fountain, & all sown corn field that is watered shall be dried up, it shall wither, and shall not be.📜💬📚
8 And the fishers shall lament, & all that cast angle into the river shall mourn, and they that spread net upon the face of the water shall pine away.📜💬📚
9 They shall be confounded that wrought twisting flax, combing and weaving fine things.📜💬📚
10 And the watered places thereof shall be dry, all they that made pools to take fishes.📜💬📚
11 The Princes of Tanis are fools, the wise counsellers of Pharao have given unwise counsel: how say ye unto Pharao: I am the son of the wise, the son of the ancient kings?📜💬📚
12 Where are now thy wise men? Let them tell thee, & shew what the Lord of hosts hath thought concerning AEgypt.📜💬📚
13 The Princes of Tanis are become fools, the Princes of Memphis are withered away, they have deceived AEgypt, the corner of the peoples thereof.📜💬📚
14 Our Lord hath mingled in the midst thereof the spirit of gladness: and they have made AEgypt to err in every work thereof, as he erreth that is drunk and vomiteth.📜💬📚
15 And AEgypt shall have no work, to make the head and the tail, the perverter and restrainer.📜💬📚
A Blessing upon the Earth
16 In that day AEgypt shall be as women, & they shall be astonished, & shall be afraid at the face of the moving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he shall move over it.📜💬📚
17 And the land of Juda shall be a fear to AEgypt: every one that shall remember it, shall quake at the face of the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he hath thought concerning it.📜💬📚
18 In that day there shall be five cities in the land of AEgypt, speaking the tongue of Chanaan, and swearing by the Lord of hosts: one shall be called the city of the sun.📜💬📚
19 In that day there shall be an altar of our Lord in the midst of the land of AEgypt, and a title of our Lord by the border thereof:📜💬📚
20 it shall be for a sign, and for a testimony to the Lord of hosts in the land of AEgypt. For they shall cry to our Lord at the presence of the afflicter, and he shall send them a saviour and defender to deliver them.📜💬📚
21 And our Lord shall be known of AEgypt, & the AEgyptians shall know our Lord in that day, and shall worship him in hosts and in gifts: and they shall vow vows to our Lord, and pay them.📜💬📚
22 And our Lord shall smite AEgypt with a stroke, and heal it, and they shall return to our Lord, and he shall be pacified towards them, and heal them.📜💬📚
23 In that day there shall be a way from AEgypt to the Assyrians, and the Assyrian shall enter into AEgypt, and the AEgyptians to the Assyrians, & the AEgyptians shall serve Assur.📜💬📚
24 In that day shall Israel be a third to the AEgyptian and the Assyrian: a blessing in the midst of the earth,📜💬📚
25 which the Lord of hosts hath blessed, saying: Blessed be my people of AEgypt, and the work of my hands to the Assyrian: but Israel is mine inheritance.📜💬📚
