Isaiah 19

1 [the] oracle of Egypt there! Yahweh [is] riding on a cloud swift and [is] coming Egypt and they will tremble [the] idols of Egypt from before him and [the] heart of Egypt it will melt within it.

The burden of Egypt. Behold, Jehovah rideth upon a swift cloud, and cometh to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt are moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt melteth in the midst of it.

2 And I will provoke Egypt against Egypt and they will fight each against brother his and each against neighbor his city against city kingdom against kingdom.

And I will incite the Egyptians against the Egyptians; and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, kingdom against kingdom.

3 And it will be disturbed [the] spirit of Egypt within it and plan its I will confuse and they will consult the idols and the mutterer and the necromancers and the soothsayers.

And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it, and I will destroy the counsel thereof; and they shall seek unto the idols and unto the conjurers, and unto the necromancers, and unto the soothsayers.

4 And I will hand over Egypt in [the] hand of a master cruel and a king strong he will rule over them [the] utterance of the lord Yahweh of hosts.

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, Jehovah of hosts.

5 And they will be dried up waters from the sea and a river it will become dry and it will be dry.

And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up;

6 And they will stink [the] rivers they will be low and they will become dry [the] canals of Egypt reed[s] and rush[es] they will wither.

and the rivers shall stink, and the streams of Egypt shall be diminished and drain away: the reeds and sedges shall wither.

7 Reeds at [the] River at [the] mouth of [the] River and all [the] sown land of [the] River it will be dry it will be driven about and there not [will be] it.

The meadows by the Nile, on the banks of the Nile, and everything sown by the Nile, shall be dried up, be driven away, and be no [more].

8 And they will lament the fishermen and they will mourn all [those who] cast in the River a fish hook and [those who] spread out a fishing net on [the] surface of [the] waters they will languish.

And the fishers shall mourn, and all they that cast fish-hook into the Nile shall lament, and they that spread net upon the waters shall languish.

9 And they will be ashamed workers of flax combed and [those who] weave white cloth.

And they that work in fine flax, and they that weave white stuffs shall be ashamed.

10 And they will be foundations its crushed all [those who] work of wage[s] [will be] grieved of soul.

And her pillars shall be broken in pieces, and all workers for hire shall be sad of soul.

11 [are] only Fools [the] officials of Zoan [the] wise [people] of [the] counselors of Pharaoh counsel foolish how? will you say to Pharaoh [am] a son of wise [people] I a son of kings of ancient time.

They are but fools, the princes of Zoan, the wise counsellors of Pharaoh: [their] counsel is become senseless. How say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?

12 Where [are]? they then wise [people] your so they may tell please to you so they may know what? has he planned Yahweh of hosts on Egypt.

Where are they then, thy wise [men]? Let them now tell thee, and let them make known what Jehovah of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.

13 They have become fools [the] officials of Zoan they have been deceived [the] officials of Memphis they have misled Egypt [the] corner of tribes its.

The princes of Zoan are become foolish, the princes of Noph are deceived; and the corner-stones of its tribes have caused Egypt to err.

14 Yahweh he has mixed in midst its a spirit of confusion and they have misled Egypt in every deed its as is made to stagger a drunkard in vomit his.

Jehovah hath mingled a spirit of perverseness in the midst thereof; and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunkard staggereth in his vomit.

15 And not it will be for Egypt a deed which it will do head and tail palm branch and bulrush.

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

16 In the day that it will be Egypt like women and it will tremble - and it will be in dread of [the] brandishing of [the] hand of Yahweh of hosts which he [is] brandishing on it.

In that day shall Egypt be like unto women; and it shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of hosts, which he shaketh over it.

17 And it will become [the] land of Judah to Egypt an object of terror every [one] whom someone will bring to remembrance it to him he will be in dread because of [the] plan of Yahweh of hosts which he [is] planning on it.

And the land of Judah shall be a dismay unto Egypt: every one that thinketh of it shall be afraid for himself, because of the counsel of Jehovah of hosts, which he hath purposed against it.

18 In the day that they will be five cities in [the] land of Egypt speaking [the] language of Canaan and swearing an oath to Yahweh of hosts [the] city of Destruction it will be called of one.

In that day shall there be five cities in the land of Egypt speaking the language of Canaan, and swearing by Jehovah of hosts: one shall be called, The city of Heres.

19 In the day that it will be an altar to Yahweh in [the] middle of [the] land of Egypt and a pillar [will be] beside border its to Yahweh.

In that day shall there be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to Jehovah:

20 And it will become a sign and a witness to Yahweh of hosts in [the] land of Egypt that they will cry out to Yahweh because of oppressors and he may send to them a deliverer and [one who] contends and he will rescue them.

and it shall be for a sign and for a witness to Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto Jehovah because of the oppressors, and he will send them a saviour and defender, who shall deliver them.

21 And he will make himself known Yahweh to Egypt and they will know Egypt Yahweh in the day that and they will serve sacrifice and offering and they will vow a vow to Yahweh and they will pay [it].

And Jehovah shall be known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know Jehovah in that day, and shall serve with sacrifice and oblation; and they shall vow a vow unto Jehovah, and perform it.

22 And he will strike Yahweh Egypt striking and healing and they will turn to Yahweh and he will be entreated by them and he will heal them.

And Jehovah will smite Egypt; he will smite and heal: and they shall return to Jehovah, and he will be entreated of them, and will heal them.

23 In the day that it will be a highway from Egypt Assyria towards and it will go Assyria in Egypt and Egypt in Assyria and they will serve Egypt Assyria.

In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria; and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and Egypt shall serve with Assyria.

24 In the day that it will be Israel a third to Egypt and to Assyria a blessing in [the] midst of the earth.

In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;

25 Which he will bless it Yahweh of hosts saying [be] blessed people my Egypt and [the] work of hands my Assyria and inheritance my Israel.

whom Jehovah of hosts will bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance!
