< 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.
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.
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.
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.
5 And they will be dried up waters from the sea and a river it will become dry and it will be dry.
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.
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.
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.
9 And they will be ashamed workers of flax combed and [those who] weave white cloth.
10 And they will be foundations its crushed all [those who] work of wage[s] [will be] grieved 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.
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.
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.
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.
15 And not it will be for Egypt a deed which it will do head and tail palm branch and bulrush.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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].
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.
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.
24 In the day that it will be Israel a third to Egypt and to 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.
