Book 12 : NEVIIM - ISAIAH - Chapter 019
19:001
The burden of Egypt. Behold, HaShem rideth upon a swift
cloud, and cometh unto Egypt; and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at His
presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt within it
19:002
And I will spur Egypt against Egypt; and they shall fight
every one against his brother, and everyone against his neighbour; city against
city, and kingdom against kingdom
19:003
And the spirit of Egypt shall be made empty within it; and
I will make void the counsel thereof; and they shall seek unto the idols, and to
the whisperers, and to the ghosts, and to the familiar spirits
19:004
And I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel
lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the L-rd, HaShem of hosts
19:005
And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall
be drained dry
19:006
And the rivers shall become foul; the streams of Egypt
shall be minished and dried up; the reeds and flags shall wither
19:007
The mosses by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all
that is sown by the Nile, shall become dry, be driven away, and be no more
19:008
The fishers also shall lament, and all they that cast angle
into the Nile shall mourn, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall
languish
19:009
Moreover they that work in combed flax, and they that weave
cotton, shall be ashamed
19:010
And her foundations shall be crushed, all they that make
dams shall be grieved in soul
19:011
The princes of Zoan are utter fools; the wisest
counsellors of Pharaoh are a senseless counsel; how can ye say unto Pharaoh: 'I
am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings'
19:012
Where are they, then, thy wise men? And let them tell thee
now; and let them know what HaShem of hosts hath purposed concerning Egypt
19:013
The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph
are deceived; they have caused Egypt to go astray, that are the corner-stone of
her tribes
19:014
HaShem hath mingled within her a spirit of dizziness; and
they have caused Egypt to stagger in every work thereof, as a drunken man
staggereth in his vomit
19:015
Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or
tail, palm-branch or rush, may do
19:016
In that day shall Egypt be like unto women; and it shall
tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of HaShem of hosts, which He
shaketh over it
19:017
And the land of Judah shall become a terror unto Egypt,
whensoever one maketh mention thereof to it; it shall be afraid, because of the
purpose of HaShem of hosts, which He purposeth against it
19:018
In that day there shall be five cities in the land of
Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to HaShem of hosts; one shall
be called The city of destruction
19:019
In that day shall there be an altar to HaShem in the midst
of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to HaShem
19:020
And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto HaShem
of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto HaShem because of the
oppressors, and He will send them a saviour, and a defender, who will deliver
them
19:021
And HaShem shall make Himself known to Egypt, and the
Egyptians shall know HaShem in that day; yea, they shall worship with sacrifice
and offering, and shall vow a vow unto HaShem, and shall perform it
19:022
And HaShem will smite Egypt, smiting and healing; and they
shall return unto HaShem, and He will be entreated of them, and will heal them
19:023
In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to
Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria;
and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians
19:024
In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with
Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth
19:025
for that HaShem of hosts hath blessed him, saying:
'Blessed be Egypt My people and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel Mine
inheritance.
