and the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst. 019:002 I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians, and they will fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom. 019:003 The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst. I will destroy its counsel. They will seek the idols, the charmers, those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards. 019:004 I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord. A fierce king will rule over them," says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies. 019:005 The waters will fail from the sea, and the river will be wasted and become dry. 019:006 The rivers will become foul. The streams of Egypt will be diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags will wither away. 019:007 The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, will become dry, be driven away, and be no more. 019:008 The fishermen will lament, and all those who fish in the Nile will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will languish. 019:009 Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth, will be confounded. 019:010 The pillars will be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire will be grieved in soul. 019:011 The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid. How do you say to Pharaoh, "I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?" 019:012 Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you now; and let them know what Yahweh of Armies has purposed concerning Egypt. 019:013 The princes of Zoan have become fools. The princes of Memphis are deceived. They have caused Egypt to go astray, who are the cornerstone of her tribes. 019:014 Yahweh has mixed a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her; and they have caused Egypt to go astray in all of its works, like a drunken man staggers in his vomit. 019:015 Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm branch or rush, may do. 019:016 In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Yahweh of Armies, which he shakes over them. 019:017 The land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt. Everyone to whom mention is made of it will be afraid, because of the plans of Yahweh of Armies, which he determines against it. 019:018 In that day, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to Yahweh of Armies. One will be called "The city of destruction." 019:019 In that day, there will be an altar to Yahweh in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to Yahweh at its border. 019:020 It will be for a sign and for a witness to Yahweh of Armies
