Isaiah 19:2-16
2“So I will inciteH5526 EgyptiansH4714 against EgyptiansH4714; And they will 1eachH376 fightH3898 against his brotherH251 and eachH376 against his neighborH7453, CityH5892 against cityH5892 and kingdomH4467 against kingdomH4467.3Then the spiritH7307 of the EgyptiansH4714 will be demoralizedH1238 withinH7130 them; And I will confoundH1104 their strategyH6098, So that 2they will resortH1875 to idolsH457 and ghostsH330 of the deadH330 And to 3mediumsH178 and spiritistsH3049.4Moreover, I will deliverH5534 the EgyptiansH4714 into the handH3027 of a 4cruelH7186 masterH113, And a 5mightyH5794 kingH4428 will ruleH4910 over them,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 6GodH3068 of hostsH6635.
57The watersH4325 from the seaH3220 will dryH5405 up, And the riverH5104 will be parchedH2717 and dryH3001.6The 89canalsH5104 will emitH2186 a stenchH2186, The 1011streamsH2975 of EgyptH4693 will thinH1809 out and dryH2717 up; 12The reedsH7070 and rushesH5488 will rotH7060 awayH7060.7The bulrushesH6169 by the 13NileH2975, by the 14edgeH6310 of the NileH2975 And allH3605 the sownH4218 fieldsH4218 by the NileH2975 Will becomeH3001 dryH3001, be drivenH5086 awayH5086, and be noH369 moreH369.8And the 15fishermenH1728 will lamentH578, And allH3605 those who castH7993 a 16lineH2443 into the NileH2975 will mournH56, And those who spreadH6566 netsH4365 on the watersH4325 will 17pineH535 awayH535.9Moreover, the manufacturersH5647 of linenH6593 made from combedH8305 flaxH6593 And the weaversH707 of whiteH2360 18clothH2360 will be 19utterlyH954 dejectedH954.10And 20the 21pillarsH8356 of Egypt will be crushedH1792; AllH3605 the hiredH7938 laborersH6213 will be grievedH99 in soulH5315.
11The princesH8269 of 2223ZoanH6814 are mereH389 foolsH191; The adviceH6098 of Pharaoh’sH6547 wisestH2450 advisersH3289 has becomeH1197 24stupidH1197. HowH349 can you men sayH559 to PharaohH6547, “I am a sonH1121 of the 25wiseH2450, a sonH1121 of ancientH6924 kingsH4428”?12WellH645 thenH645, whereH335 are your wiseH2450 menH2450? PleaseH4994 let them tellH5046 you, And let them 26understandH3045 whatH4100 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 Has 27purposedH3289 againstH5921 EgyptH4714.13The princesH8269 of 28ZoanH6814 have actedH2973 foolishlyH2973, The princesH8269 of 29MemphisH5297 are deludedH5378; Those who are the 30cornerstoneH6438 of her tribesH7626 Have 31ledH8582 EgyptH4714 astrayH8582.14The LordH3068 has mixedH4537 withinH7130 her a spiritH7307 of 32distortionH5773; 33They have ledH8582 EgyptH4714 astrayH8582 in allH3605 34that it doesH4639, As a 35drunkenH7910 manH7910 36staggersH8582 in his vomitH7006.15There will be noH3808 workH4639 for EgyptH4714 37WhichH834 its headH7218 or tailH2180, its palmH3712 branchH3712 or bulrushH100, may doH6213.
16In that dayH3117 the EgyptiansH4714 will becomeH1961 like womenH802, and they will trembleH2729 and be in 38dreadH6342 becauseH4480H6440 of the 39wavingH5130 of the handH3027 of the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, whichH834 He is going to waveH5130 overH5921 them.
