Isaiah 19:2-16

2And I will setH5526 the EgyptiansH4714 against the EgyptiansH4714: and they shall fightH3898 every oneH376 against his brotherH251, and every oneH376 against his neighbourH7453; cityH5892 against cityH5892, and kingdomH4467 against kingdomH4467.1

3And the spiritH7307 of EgyptH4714 shall failH1238 in the midstH7130 of her; and I will destroyH1104 its counselH6098: and they shall seekH1875 to the idolsH457, and to the charmersH328, and to the mediumsH178, and to the wizardsH3049.23

4AndH853 the EgyptiansH4714 will I give overH5534 into the handH3027 of a cruelH7186 lordH113; and a fierceH5794 kingH4428 shall ruleH4910 over them, saithH5002 the LordH113, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.4

5And the watersH4325 shall failH5405 from the seaH3220, and the riversH5104 shall be wastedH2717 and dried upH3001.

6And they shall turnH2186 the riversH5104 far awayH2186; and the brooksH2975 of defenceH4693 shall be emptiedH1809 and dried upH2717: the reedsH7070 and flagsH5488 shall witherH7060.

7The paper reedsH6169 by the brooksH2975, by the mouthH6310 of the brooksH2975, and every thing sownH4218 by the brooksH2975, shall witherH3001, be driven awayH5086, and be no more .5

8The fishermenH1771 also shall mournH578, and all they that castH7993 a lineH2443 into the brooksH2975 shall lamentH56, and they that spreadH6566 netsH4365 uponH6440 the watersH4325 shall languishH535.

9Moreover they that workH5647 in fineH8305 flaxH6593, and they that weaveH707 fine clothsH2355, shall be confoundedH954.6

10And they shall be brokenH1792 in its purposesH8356, all that makeH6213 sluicesH7938 and pondsH99 for fishH5315.78

11Surely the princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are foolsH191, the counselH6098 of the wiseH2450 counsellorsH3289 of PharaohH6547 is become stupidH1197: how sayH559 ye to PharaohH6547, I am the sonH1121 of the wiseH2450, the sonH1121 of ancientH6924 kingsH4428?

12WhereH335 are they? whereH645 are thy wiseH2450 men ? and let them tellH5046 thee now, and let them knowH3045 what the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289 upon EgyptH4714.

13The princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are become foolsH2973, the princesH8269 of NophH5297 are deceivedH5377; they have also seducedH8582 EgyptH4714, even they that are the supportH6438 of its tribesH7626.9

14The LORDH3068 hath mingledH4537 a perverseH5773 spiritH7307 in the midstH7130 of it: and they have caused EgyptH4714 to errH8582 in every workH4639 of it, as a drunkenH7910 man staggerethH8582 in his vomitH6892.10

15Neither shall there be any workH4639 for EgyptH4714, which the headH7218 or tailH2180, branchH3712 or rushH100, may performH6213.

16In that dayH3117 shall EgyptH4714 be like womenH802: and it shall be afraidH2729 and fearH6342 becauseH6440 of the shakingH8573 of the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, which he shakethH5130 over it.
