Isaiah 19:11-21

11The princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are mereH389 foolsH191; Pharaoh’sH6547 wiseH2450 counselorsH6098 give senselessH1197 adviceH6098. HowH349 can you sayH559 toH413 PharaohH6547, “IH589 am oneH1121 of the wiseH2450, a sonH1121 of easternH6924 kingsH4428”?12WhereH335 are your wise menH2450 nowH645? Let them tellH5046H4994 you and revealH3045 whatH4100 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 has plannedH3289 againstH5921 EgyptH4714.

13The princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 have become foolsH2973;the princesH8269 of MemphisH52971 are deceivedH5377.The cornerstonesH6438 of her tribesH7626have led EgyptH4714 astrayH8582.14The LORDH3068 has pouredH4537 into herH7130a spiritH7307 of confusionH5773.EgyptH4714 has been led astrayH8582 in allH3605 she doesH4639,as a drunkardH7910 staggers throughH8582 his own vomitH6892.15There isH1961 nothingH3808 EgyptH4714 can doH6213—headH7218 or tailH2180, palmH3712 or reedH100.

16In thatH1931 dayH3117 the EgyptiansH4714 will beH1961 like womenH802. They will trembleH2729 with fearH6342 beneathH6440 the upliftedH8573 handH3027 of the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, when HeH1931 brandishesH5130 itH834 against themH5921. 17The landH127 of JudahH3063 will bring terrorH2283 to EgyptH4714; wheneverH3605 Judah is mentionedH2142, Egypt will trembleH6342 overH6440 what the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 has plannedH6098H3289 against itH5921.

18In thatH1931H1961 dayH3117 fiveH2568 citiesH5892 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 will speakH1696 the languageH8193 of CanaanH3667 and swear allegianceH7650 to the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635. One of themH259 will be calledH559 the CityH5892 of the SunH2041.2

19In thatH1931 dayH3117 there will beH1961 an altarH4196 to the LORDH3068 in the centerH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and a pillarH4676 to the LORDH3068 nearH681 her borderH1366. 20It will beH1961 a signH226 and a witnessH5707 to the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714. WhenH3588 they cry outH6817 toH413 the LORDH3068 because ofH6440 their oppressorsH3905, He will sendH7971 them a saviorH3467 and defenderH7227 to rescue themH5337. 21The LORDH3068 will make Himself knownH3045 to EgyptH4714, and on thatH1931 dayH3117 EgyptH4714 will acknowledgeH3045 the LORDH3068. They will worshipH5647 with sacrificesH2077 and offeringsH4503; they will makeH5087 vowsH5088 to the LORDH3068 and fulfill themH7999.
