Proclamation Against Egypt
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 19
|
|
###### 1 The burden against Egypt.
|
|
Behold, the Lord rides on a swift cloud,
|
|
And will come into Egypt;
|
|
The idols of Egypt will totter at His presence,
|
|
And the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.
|
|
|
|
###### 2 "I will set Egyptians against Egyptians;
|
|
Everyone will fight against his brother,
|
|
And everyone against his neighbor,
|
|
City against city, kingdom against kingdom.
|
|
|
|
###### 3 The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst;
|
|
I will destroy their counsel,
|
|
And they will consult the idols and the charmers,
|
|
The mediums and the sorcerers.
|
|
|
|
###### 4 And the Egyptians I will give
|
|
Into the hand of a cruel master,
|
|
And a fierce king will rule over them,"
|
|
Says the Lord, the Lord of hosts.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 The waters will fail from the sea,
|
|
And the river will be wasted and dried up.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 The rivers will turn foul;
|
|
The brooks of defense will be emptied and dried up;
|
|
The reeds and rushes will wither.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 The papyrus reeds by the River, by the mouth of the River,
|
|
And everything sown by the River,
|
|
Will wither, be driven away, and be no more.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 The fishermen also will mourn;
|
|
All those will lament who cast hooks into the River,
|
|
And they will languish who spread nets on the waters.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 Moreover those who work in fine flax
|
|
And those who weave fine fabric will be ashamed;
|
|
|
|
###### 10 And its foundations will be broken.
|
|
All who make wages _will be_ troubled of soul.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 Surely the princes of Zoan _are_ fools;
|
|
Pharaoh's wise counselors give foolish counsel.
|
|
How do you say to Pharaoh, "I _am_ the son of the wise,
|
|
The son of ancient kings?"
|
|
|
|
###### 12 Where _are_ they?
|
|
Where are your wise men?
|
|
Let them tell you now,
|
|
And let them know what the Lord of hosts has purposed against Egypt.
|
|
|
|
###### 13 The princes of Zoan have become fools;
|
|
The princes of Noph are deceived;
|
|
They have also deluded Egypt,
|
|
_Those who are_ the mainstay of its tribes.
|
|
|
|
###### 14 The Lord has mingled a perverse spirit in her midst;
|
|
And they have caused Egypt to err in all her work,
|
|
As a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
|
|
|
|
###### 15 Neither will there be _any_ work for Egypt,
|
|
Which the head or tail,
|
|
Palm branch or bulrush, may do.
|
|
|
|
###### 16 In that day Egypt will be like women, and will be afraid and fear because of the waving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which He waves over it.
|
|
###### 17 And the land of Judah will be a terror to Egypt; everyone who makes mention of it will be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts which He has determined against it.Egypt, Assyria, and Israel Blessed
|
|
|
|
###### 18 In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear by the Lord of hosts; one will be called the City of Destruction.
|
|
|
|
###### 19 In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border.
|
|
###### 20 And it will be for a sign and for a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the Lord because of the oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Mighty One, and He will deliver them.
|
|
###### 21 Then the Lord will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the Lord in that day, and will make sacrifice and offering; yes, they will make a vow to the Lord and perform _it._
|
|
###### 22 And the Lord will strike Egypt, He will strike and heal _it;_ they will return to the Lord, and He will be entreated by them and heal them.
|
|
|
|
###### 23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will serve with the Assyrians.
|
|
|
|
###### 24 In that day Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria--a blessing in the midst of the land,
|
|
###### 25 whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, "Blessed _is_ Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance."
