Isaiah 19:1-7 ▼

1 The burden of Egypt: Behold, YHWH is riding on a swift cloud, and He is coming into Egypt; and the idols of Egypt will quiver before His face, and the heart of Egypt will melt within them.

2 “And I will set Egyptian against Egyptian, and a man will be fighting against his brother, and a man against his neighbor—city against city, kingdom against kingdom.

3 And the spirit of Egypt will be emptied out from among them, and I will swallow up its counsel; and they will resort to the idols, and to the charmers, and to the mediums, and to the spiritists.

4 And I will shut up Egypt in the hand of harsh masters, and a fierce king will rule over them,” a declaration of the Lord YHWH of hosts.

5 And the waters of the Sea will dry up, and the River will become parched and dried up;

6 and the rivers will trickle and will become foul, and the brooks of Egypt dried out; the reeds and rushes will wither,

7 the rushes by the River, upon the mouth of the River, and every sown field of the River will wither; it will be driven away and be no more.
