Isaias (Isaiah) 19
19
1THE burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord will ascend upon a swift cloud and will enter into Egypt. And the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst thereof.
2And I will set the Egyptians to fight against the Egyptians: and they shall fight brother against brother, and friend against friend, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
3And the spirit of Egypt shall be broken in the bowels thereof, and I will cast down their counsel: and they shall consult their idols, and their diviners, and their wizards and soothsayers.
4And I will deliver Egypt into the hand of cruel masters: and a strong king shall rule over them, saith the Lord the God of hosts.
5And the water of the sea shall be dried up: and the river shall be wasted and dry.
6And the rivers shall fail: the streams of the banks shall be diminished and be dried up. The reed and the bulrush shall wither away.
7The channel of the river shall be laid bare from its fountain, and every thing sown by the water shall be dried up. It shall wither away and shall be no more.
8The fishers also shall mourn, and all that cast a hook into the river shall lament: and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish away.
9They shall be confounded that wrought in flax, combing and weaving fine linen.
10And its watery places shall be dry: all they shall mourn that made pools to take fishes.
11The princes of Tanis are become fools, the wise counsellors of Pharao have given foolish counsel. How will you say to Pharao: I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
12Where are now thy wise men? Let them tell thee, and shew what the Lord of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.
13The princes of Tanis are become fools, the princes of Memphis are gone astray: they have deceived Egypt, the stay of the people thereof.
14The Lord hath mingled in the midst thereof the spirit of giddiness: and they have caused Egypt to err in all its works, as a drunken man staggereth and vomiteth.
15And there shall be no work for Egypt, to make head or tail, him that bendeth down, or that holdeth back.
16In that day Egypt shall be like unto women: and they shall be amazed and afraid, because of the moving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he shall move over it.
17And the land of Juda shall be a terror to Egypt: every one that shall remember it shall tremble, because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he hath determined concerning it.
18In that day there shall be five cities in the land of Egypt, speaking the language of Chanaan, and swearing by the Lord of hosts. One shall be called the city of the sun.
19In that day, there shall be an altar of the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a monument of the Lord at the borders thereof.
20It shall be for a sign and for a testimony to the Lord of hosts, in the land of Egypt. For they shall cry to the Lord because of the oppressor: and he shall send them a Saviour and a defender, to deliver them.
21And the Lord shall be known by Egypt: and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall worship him with sacrifices and offerings. And they shall make vows to the Lord and perform them.
22And the Lord shall strike Egypt with a scourge, and shall heal it. And they shall return to the Lord: and he shall be pacified towards them and heal them.
23In that day, there shall be a way from Egypt to the Assyrians: and the Assyrian shall enter into Egypt, and the Egyptian to the Assyrians. And the Egyptians shall serve the Assyrian.
24In that day shall Israel be the third to the Egyptian and the Assyrian: a blessing in the midst of the land,
25Which the Lord of hosts hath blessed, saying: Blessed be my people of Egypt, and the work of my hands to the Assyrian. But Israel is my inheritance.

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 19
19
1The message concerning Mitsrayim. See, יהוה is riding on a swift cloud, and He shall come into Mitsrayim. And the idols of Mitsrayim shall tremble at His presence, and the heart of Mitsrayim melt in its midst.
2“And I shall stir up Mitsrites against Mitsrites, and they shall fight, each one against his brother, and each one against his neighbour, city against city, reign against reign.
3“And the spirit of Mitsrayim shall vanish within them, and I destroy their counsel. And they shall seek the idols and the mutterers, the mediums and the sorcerers.
4“And I shall deliver the Mitsrites into the hand of a cruel master, and a fierce sovereign to rule over them,” declares the Master, יהוה of hosts.
5And waters shall fail from the sea, and the river wasted and dried up.
6And the rivers shall stink, and the streams shall be weak and dried up. Reeds and rushes shall wither.
7Bare places by the River, by the mouth of the River, and every sown field by the River shall wither. It shall be driven away, and be no more.
8And the fishermen shall lament, and all those who cast hooks into the River shall mourn, and they who spread nets on the waters shall pine away.
9And those who work in fine flax, and those who weave fine fabric shall become ashamed.
10And its foundations shall be crushed, all the wage workers grieved in being.
11The princes of Tso‛an are only fools; the counsel of Pharaoh’s wise ones has become senseless. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient sovereigns?”
12Where are they? Where are your wise men? Let them show you, and let them know what יהוה of hosts has counselled against Mitsrayim.
13The princes of Tso‛an have become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived. They, the corner-stone of her tribes, have led Mitsrayim astray.
14יהוה has mixed a perverse spirit in her midst. And they have led Mitsrayim astray in all her work, as a drunkard strays in his vomit.
15And there is no work for Mitsrayim, by either head or tail, palm branch or bulrush.
16In that day Mitsrayim shall become like women, and tremble and fear because of the waving of the hand of יהוה of hosts, which He waves over it.
17And the land of Yehuḏah shall be a fear to Mitsrayim, everyone who mentions it fears for himself, because of the counsel of יהוה of hosts which He has counselled against it.
18In that day five cities in the land of Mitsrayim shall speak the language of Kena‛an and swear by יהוה of hosts; one is called the City of Destruction.
19In that day a slaughter-place to יהוה shall be in the midst of the land of Mitsrayim, and a standing column to יהוה at its border.
20And it shall be for a sign and for a witness to יהוה of hosts in the land of Mitsrayim. When they cry to יהוה because of the oppressors, He sends them a Saviour and a great one,#Hebrew raḇ from the root raḇaḇ or riḇ. and shall deliver them.
21And יהוה shall be known to Mitsrayim, and the Mitsrites shall know יהוה in that day, and make slaughtering and meal offering, and shall make a vow to יהוה and pay it.
22And יהוה shall smite Mitsrayim, smite it and heal it. And they shall turn to יהוה, and He shall hear them and heal them.
23In that day there shall be a highway from Mitsrayim to Ashshur, and Ashshur shall come into Mitsrayim and Mitsrayim into Ashshur, and Mitsrayim shall serve with Ashshur.
24In that day Yisra’ĕl shall be one of three with Mitsrayim and Ashshur, even a blessing in the midst of the earth,
25whom יהוה of hosts shall bless, saying, “Blessed is Mitsrayim My people, and Ashshur the work of My hands, and Yisra’ĕl My inheritance.”
