1 Oracle on Egypt: See, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud on his way to Egypt; The idols of Egypt tremble before him, the hearts of the Egyptians melt within them. 2 I will stir up Egypt against Egypt: brother will war against brother, Neighbor against neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom. 3 The courage of the Egyptians shall ebb away within them, and I will bring their counsel to nought; They shall consult idols and charmers, ghosts and clairvoyants. 4 I will deliver Egypt into the power of a cruel master, A harsh king who shall rule over them— oracle of the Lord, the LORD of hosts. Isaiah 19:1-4, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
