Isaiah 19:11-21
11Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings? 12Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what Yhwh of Armies hath purposed upon Egypt. 13The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.1 14Yhwh hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.2 15Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do. 16In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Yhwh of Armies, which he shaketh over it. 17And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of Yhwh of Armies, which he hath determined against it.
18In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to Yhwh of Armies; one shall be called, The city of destruction.34 19In that day shall there be an altar to Yhwh in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to Yhwh. 20And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto Yhwh of Armies in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto Yhwh because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them. 21And Yhwh shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know Yhwh in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto Yhwh, and perform it.
