Isaiah 19:11-21

11They are but foolsH191, the princesH8269 of ZoanH6814, the wiseH2450 counsellors of PharaohH6547: [their] counselH6098 is become senseless. HowH349 sayH559 ye unto PharaohH6547, I am the sonH1121 of the wiseH2450, the sonH1121 of ancient kingsH4428?

12WhereH335 are they thenH645, thy wiseH2450 [men]? Let them now tellH5046 thee, and let them makeH3045 knownH3045 what Jehovah of hostsH6635 hath purposed upon EgyptH4714.

13The princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are becomeH2973 foolish, the princesH8269 of Noph are deceived; and the corner-stones of its tribesH7626 have caused EgyptH4714 to errH8582.

14Jehovah hath mingled a spiritH7307 of perverseness in the midstH7130 thereof; and they have caused EgyptH4714 to errH8582 in every workH4639 thereof, as a drunkardH7910 staggereth in his vomitH6892.

15Neither shall there beH1961 any workH4639 for EgyptH4714, which the headH7218 or tailH2180, palm-branch or rush, may do.

16In that dayH3117 shall EgyptH4714 beH1961 like unto womenH802; and it shall trembleH2729 and fearH6342 because of the shaking of the handH3027 of Jehovah of hostsH6635, which he shaketh over it.

17And the landH127 of JudahH3063 shall beH1961 a dismay unto EgyptH4714: every one that thinketh of it shall beH1961 afraidH6342 for himself, because of the counselH6098 of Jehovah of hostsH6635, which he hath purposed against it.

18In that dayH3117 shall there beH1961 fiveH2568 citiesH5892 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 speakingH1696 the languageH8193 of CanaanH3667, and swearingH7650 by Jehovah of hostsH6635: oneH259 shall beH1961 called, The cityH5892 of Heres.

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 to Jehovah of hostsH6635 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; for they shall cryH6817 unto Jehovah because of the oppressors, and he will sendH7971 them a saviour and defender, who shall deliverH5337 them.

21And Jehovah shall be knownH3045 to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall knowH3045 Jehovah in that dayH3117, and shall serveH5647 with sacrificeH2077 and oblation; and they shall vowH5088 a vowH5088 unto Jehovah, and perform it.
