Isaiah 19

1 The confusion of Egypt. 11 The foolishness of their princes. 18 The calling of Egypt to the Church. 23 The covenant of Egypt, Assyria, and Israel.

 19:1 The oracle 4853b concerning Egypt 4714. Behold 2009, the LORD 3068 is riding 7392 on a swift 7031 cloud 5645 and is about to come 935 to Egypt 4714; The idols 457 of Egypt 4714 will tremble 5128 at His presence 6440, And the heart 3824 of the Egyptians 4714 will melt 4549 within 7130 them.

 19:2 “So I will incite 5526a Egyptians 4714 against Egyptians 4714; And they will each 376 fight 3898a against his brother 251 and each 376 against his neighbor 7453, City 5892b against city 5892b [and] kingdom 4467 against kingdom 4467.

 19:3 “Then the spirit 7307 of the Egyptians 4714 will be demoralized 1238b within 7130 them; And I will confound 1104 their strategy 6098, So that they will resort 1875 to idols 457 and ghosts 330b of the dead 330b And to mediums 178 and spiritists 3049.

 19:4 “Moreover, I will deliver 5534a the Egyptians 4714 into the hand 3027 of a cruel 7186 master 113, And a mighty 5794 king 4428 will rule 4910 over them,” declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 of hosts 6635.

 19:5 ¶ The waters 4325 from the sea 3220 will dry 5405 up, And the river 5104 will be parched 2717a and dry 3001.

 19:6 The canals 5104 will emit 2186b a stench 2186b, The streams 2975 of Egypt 4693 will thin 1809 out and dry 2717a up; The reeds 7070 and rushes 5488 will rot 7060 away 7060.

 19:7 The bulrushes 6169 by the Nile 2975, by the edge 6310 of the Nile 2975 And all 3605 the sown 4218 fields 4218 by the Nile 2975 Will become 3001 dry 3001, be driven 5086 away 5086, and be no 369 more 369.

 19:8 And the fishermen 1728 will lament 578, And all 3605 those who cast 7993 a line 2443 into the Nile 2975 will mourn 56, And those who spread 6566 nets 4365b on the waters 4325 will pine 535 away 535.

 19:9 Moreover, the manufacturers 5647 of linen 6593 made from combed 8305 flax 6593 And the weavers 707 of white 2360a cloth 2360a will be utterly 954 dejected 954.

 19:10 And the pillars 8356 [of Egypt] will be crushed 1792; All 3605 the hired 7938 laborers 6213a will be grieved 99 in soul 5315.

 19:11 ¶ The princes 8269 of Zoan 6814 are mere 389 fools 191; The advice 6098 of Pharaoh’s 6547 wisest 2450 advisers 3289 has become 1197b stupid 1197b. How 349 can you [men] say 559 to Pharaoh 6547, “I am a son 1121 of the wise 2450, a son 1121 of ancient 6924a kings 4428”?

 19:12 Well 645 then 645, where 335 are your wise 2450 men 2450? Please 4994 let them tell 5046 you, And let them understand 3045 what 4100 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 Has purposed 3289 against 5921 Egypt 4714.

 19:13 The princes 8269 of Zoan 6814 have acted 2973 foolishly 2973, The princes 8269 of Memphis 5297 are deluded 5378; [Those who are] the cornerstone 6438 of her tribes 7626 Have led 8582 Egypt 4714 astray 8582.

 19:14 The LORD 3068 has mixed 4537 within 7130 her a spirit 7307 of distortion 5773; They have led 8582 Egypt 4714 astray 8582 in all 3605 that it does 4639, As a drunken 7910 man 7910 staggers 8582 in his vomit 7006b.

 19:15 There will be no 3808 work 4639 for Egypt 4714 Which 834 [its] head 7218 or tail 2180, [its] palm 3712 branch 3712 or bulrush 100, may do 6213a.

 19:16 ¶ In that day 3117 the Egyptians 4714 will become 1961 like women 802, and they will tremble 2729 and be in dread 6342 because 4480 6440 of the waving 5130 of the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, which 834 He is going to wave 5130 over 5921 them.

 19:17 The land 127 of Judah 3063 will become 1961 a terror 2283 to Egypt 4714; everyone 3605 to whom 834 it is mentioned 2142 will be in dread 6342 of it, because 4480 6440 of the purpose 6098 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 which 834 He is purposing 3289 against 5921 them.

 19:18 ¶ In that day 3117 five 2568 cities 5892b in the land 776 of Egypt 4714 will be speaking 1696 the language 8193 of Canaan 3667a and swearing 7650 [allegiance] to the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635; one 259 will be called 559 the City 5892b of Destruction 2041.

 19:19 ¶ In that day 3117 there will be an altar 4196 to the LORD 3068 in the midst 8432 of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, and a pillar 4676 to the LORD 3068 near 681a its border 1366.

 19:20 It will become 1961 a sign 226 and a witness 5707 to the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714; for they will cry 6817 to the LORD 3068 because 4480 6440 of oppressors 3905, and He will send 7971 them a Savior 3467 and a Champion 7227b, and He will deliver 5337 them.

 19:21 Thus the LORD 3068 will make 3045 Himself known 3045 to Egypt 4714, and the Egyptians 4714 will know 3045 the LORD 3068 in that day 3117. They will even worship 5647 with sacrifice 2077 and offering 4503, and will make 5087 a vow 5088 to the LORD 3068 and perform 7999a it.

 19:22 The LORD 3068 will strike 5062 Egypt 4714, striking 5062 but healing 7495; so they will return 7725 to the LORD 3068, and He will respond 6279 to them and will heal 7495 them.

 19:23 ¶ In that day 3117 there will be a highway 4546 from Egypt 4714 to Assyria 804b, and the Assyrians 804b will come 935 into Egypt 4714 and the Egyptians 4714 into Assyria 804b, and the Egyptians 4714 will worship 5647 with the Assyrians 804b.

 19:24 ¶ In that day 3117 Israel 3478 will be the third 7992 [party] with Egypt 4714 and Assyria 804b, a blessing 1293 in the midst 7130 of the earth 776,

 19:25 whom 834 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 has blessed 1288, saying 559, “Blessed 1288 is Egypt 4714 My people 5971a, and Assyria 804b the work 4639 of My hands 3027, and Israel 3478 My inheritance 5159.”
