Isaiah 19

Revised Version 1895

1The burdenH4853 of EgyptH4714. BeholdH2009, the LORDH3068 rideth uponH5921 a swiftH7031 cloudH5645, and cometh unto EgyptH4714: and the idolsH457 of EgyptH4714 shall be movedH935 at his presenceH6440, and the heartH3824 of EgyptH4714 shall meltH4549 in the midstH7130 of it. 2And I will stir up the EgyptiansH4714 againstH3898 the EgyptiansH4714: and they shall fightH3898 everyH376 one againstH3898 his brotherH251, and everyH376 one againstH3898 his neighbour; cityH5892 againstH3898 cityH5892, and kingdomH4467 againstH3898 kingdomH4467. 3And the spiritH7307 of EgyptH4714 shall be madeH1875 void in the midstH7130 of it; and I will destroyH1104 the counselH6098 thereof: and they shall seekH1875 unto the idolsH457, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spiritsH7307, and to the wizards. 4And I will giveH7186 over the EgyptiansH4714 intoH4714 the handH3027 of a cruelH7186 lordH3068; and a fierceH5794 kingH4428 shall ruleH4910 over them, saith the LordH3068, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. 5And the watersH4325 shall fail from the seaH3220, and the riverH5104 shall be wasted and becomeH3001 dryH3001. 6And the riversH5104 shall stink; the streamsH5104 of EgyptH4693 shall be minished and dried up: the reedsH7070 and flags shall witherH2717 awayH7060. 7The meadows by the NileH2975, by the brink of the NileH2975, and allH3605 that is sownH4218 by the NileH2975, shall becomeH3001 dryH3001, be drivenH5086 awayH5086, and be noH369 moreH369. 8The fishers also shall lamentH578, and allH3605 they that castH7993 angle intoH5921 the NileH2975 shall mournH56, and they that spreadH6566 nets uponH5921 the watersH4325 shall languishH535. 9Moreover they that workH5647 in combedH8305 flaxH6593, and they that weaveH707 white cloth, shall be ashamedH954. 10And herH3605 pillarsH8356 shall be broken in pieces, allH3605 they that work for hire shall be grievedH99 in soulH5315. 11The princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are utterlyH389 foolishH191; the counselH6098 of the wisestH2450 counsellors of PharaohH6547 is become brutish: howH349 sayH559 ye unto PharaohH6547, I am the sonH1121 of the wiseH2450, the sonH1121 of ancient kingsH4428? 12WhereH335 then are thy wiseH2450 menH2450? and letH4994 them tellH5046 thee nowH4994; and letH4994 them knowH3045 whatH4100 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289 concerning EgyptH4714. 13The princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are becomeH2973 foolsH2973, the princesH8269 of Noph are deceivedH8582; they have caused EgyptH4714 to goH8582 astrayH8582, that are the cornerH6438 stone of her tribesH7626. 14The LORDH3068 hath mingledH4537 a spiritH7307 of perverseness in the midstH7130 of herH3605: and they have caused EgyptH4714 to goH8582 astrayH8582 in everyH3605 workH4639 thereof, as a drunkenH7910 manH7910 staggereth in his vomitH6892. 15NeitherH3808 shall there be for EgyptH4714 anyH1961 workH4639, whichH834 headH7218 or tailH2180, palmH3712 branchH3712 or rush, may doH6213. 16It In that dayH3117 shall EgyptH4714 be like unto womenH802: and it shall trembleH2729 and fearH6342 becauseH5921 of the shaking of the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, whichH834 he shaketh over it. 17And the landH127 of JudahH3063 shall becomeH1961 a terrorH2283 unto EgyptH4714, everyH3605 one to whomH834 mentionH2142 is madeH1961 thereof shall be afraidH6342, becauseH5921 of the purposeH6098 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, whichH834 he purposeth againstH5921 it. 18In that dayH3117 there shall be fiveH2568 citiesH5892 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 that speakH1696 the languageH8193 of CanaanH3667, and swearH7650 to the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; one shall be calledH559 The cityH5892 of destructionH2041. 19In that dayH3117 shall there be an altarH4196 to the LORDH3068 in the midstH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and a pillarH4676 at the borderH1366 thereof to the LORDH3068. 20And it shall be for a signH226 and for a witnessH5707 unto the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714: for they shall cryH6817 unto the LORDH3068 becauseH3588 of the oppressorsH3905, and he shall sendH7971 them a saviour, and a defender, and he shall deliverH5337 them. 21And the LORDH3068 shall be knownH3045 to EgyptH4714, and the EgyptiansH4714 shall knowH3045 the LORDH3068 in that dayH3117; yea, they shall worshipH5647 with sacrificeH2077 and oblation, and shall vowH5088 a vowH5088 unto the LORDH3068, and shall performH5647 it. 22And the LORDH3068 shall smiteH5062 EgyptH4714, smiting and healingH7495; and they shall returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068, and he shall be entreatedH6279 of them, and shall healH7495 them. 23In that dayH3117 shall there be a highwayH4546 outH935 of EgyptH4714 to AssyriaH804, and the Assyrian shall comeH935 intoH935 EgyptH4714, and the EgyptianH4714 intoH935 AssyriaH804; and the EgyptiansH4714 shall worshipH5647 with the Assyrians. 24In that dayH3117 shall IsraelH3478 be the thirdH7992 with EgyptH4714 and with AssyriaH804, a blessingH1293 in the midstH7130 of the earthH776: 25for that the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath blessedH1288 them, sayingH559, BlessedH1288 be EgyptH4714 my peopleH5971, and AssyriaH804 the workH4639 of my handsH3027, and IsraelH3478 mine inheritanceH5159.
