1 The burden of Egypt Behold, Jehovah riding upon a swift cloud and coming to Egypt: and the vanities of Egypt moved to and fro from his face, and the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst. 2 And I aroused Egypt against Egypt, and they warred a man against his brother, and a man against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom. 3 And the spirit of Egypt was emptied in its midst, and its counsel I will destroy: and they sought to the vanities and to the mutterers, and to the necromancers, and to the wizards. 4 And I shut up Egypt into the hand of hard lords, and a strong king shall rule over them, says the Lord Jehovah of armies. 5 And the water failed from the sea, and the river will waste and dry up. 6 They cast away the rivers; the rivers of Egypt languished and dried up; the reed and the sedge pined away. 7 The naked places by the river upon the mouth of the river, and everything being sown by the river was dried up, driven away, and nothing of it.
