Isaiah 19:11-21

11The princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are utterly foolish; the counselH6098 of the wisestH2450 counsellors of PharaohH6547 is become brutish: howH349 sayH559 ye unto PharaohH6547, I am the sonH1121 of the wiseH2450, the sonH1121 of ancient kingsH4428? 12WhereH335 thenH645 are thy wiseH2450 men? and let them tellH5046 thee now; and let them knowH3045 what Jehovah of hostsH6635 hath purposed concerning EgyptH4714. 13The princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are becomeH2973 foolsH2973, the princesH8269 of MemphisH5297 are deceived; they have caused EgyptH4714 to goH8582 astrayH8582, that are the corner-stone of her tribesH7626. 14Jehovah hath mingled a spiritH7307 of perverseness in the midstH7130 of her; and they have caused EgyptH4714 to goH8582 astrayH8582 in every workH4639 thereof, as a drunkenH7910 man staggereth in his vomitH6892. 15Neither shall there beH1961 for EgyptH4714 any workH4639, which headH7218 or tailH2180, palm-branch or rush, may do.

16In that dayH3117 shall the Egyptians beH1961 like unto womenH802; and they shall trembleH2729 and fearH6342 because of the shaking of the handH3027 of Jehovah of hostsH6635, which he shaketh over them. 17And the landH127 of JudahH3063 shall becomeH1961 a terror unto EgyptH4714; every one to whom mention is made thereof shall beH1961 afraidH6342, because of the purposeH6098 of Jehovah of hostsH6635, which he purposeth against it.

18In that dayH3117 there shall beH1961 fiveH2568 citiesH5892 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 that speakH1696 the languageH8193 of CanaanH3667, and swearH7650 to Jehovah of hostsH6635; oneH259 shall beH1961 called The cityH5892 of destruction.

19In that dayH3117 shall there beH1961 an altarH4196 to Jehovah in the midstH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and a pillarH4676 at the borderH1366 thereof to Jehovah. 20And it shall beH1961 for a signH226 and for a witnessH5707 unto Jehovah of hostsH6635 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; for they shall cryH6817 unto Jehovah because of oppressors, and he will sendH7971 them a saviour, and a defender, and he will deliverH5337 them. 21And Jehovah shall be knownH3045 to EgyptH4714, and the Egyptians shall knowH3045 Jehovah in that dayH3117; yea, they shall worship with sacrificeH2077 and oblation, and shall vowH5088 a vowH5088 unto Jehovah, and shall perform it.
