Isaiah 19:16-25

16In that day the Egyptians will become like women, and they will tremble and be in 1dread because of the 2waving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which He is going to wave over them. 17The land of Judah will become a 3terror to Egypt; everyone 4to whom it is mentioned will be in dread of it, because of the 5purpose of the Lord of hosts which He is purposing against them.

18In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will be speaking the language of Canaan and 6swearing allegiance to the Lord of hosts; one will be called the City of 7Destruction.

19In that day there will be an 8altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a 9pillar to the Lord near its border. 20It will become a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the Lord because of oppressors, and He will send them a 10Savior and a 1112Champion, and He will deliver them. 21Thus the Lord will make Himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the Lord in that day. They will even worship with 13sacrifice and offering, and will make a vow to the Lord and perform it. 22The Lord will strike Egypt, striking but 14healing; so they will 15return to the Lord, and He will respond to them and will heal them.

23In that day there will be a 16highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrians will come into Egypt and the Egyptians into Assyria, and the Egyptians will 17worship with the Assyrians.

24In that day Israel will be the third party with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth, 25whom the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying, “Blessed is 18Egypt My people, and Assyria 19the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.”
