ASV_Strong : Isaiah 19
1. The burden[H4853] of Egypt[H4714]. Behold[H3068], Jehovah rideth[H7392] upon a swift[H7031] cloud[H5645], and cometh[H935] unto Egypt[H4714]: and the idols[H457] of Egypt[H4714] shall tremble[H5128] at his presence[H6440]; and the heart[H3824] of Egypt[H4714] shall melt[H4549] in the midst of it[H7130].
2. And I will stir[H5526] up the Egyptians[H4714] against the Egyptians[H4714]: and they shall fight[H3898] every one[H376] against his brother[H251], and every one[H376] against his neighbor[H7453]; city[H5892] against city[H5892], and kingdom[H4467] against kingdom[H4467].
3. And the spirit[H7307] of Egypt[H4714] shall fail[H1238] in the midst[H7130] of it[H1104]; and I will destroy the counsel[H6098] thereof[H1875]: and they shall seek unto the idols[H457], and to the charmers[H328], and to them that have familiar spirits[H178], and to the wizards[H3049].
4. And[H853] I will give over[H5534] the Egyptians[H4714] into the hand[H3027] of a cruel[H7186] lord[H113]; and a fierce[H5794] king[H4428] shall rule[H4910] over them[H5002], saith the Lord[H113], Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635].
5. And the waters[H4325] shall fail[H5405] from the sea[H3220], and the river[H5104] shall be wasted[H2717] and become dry[H3001].
6. And the rivers[H5104] shall become[H2186] foul[H2186]; the streams[H2975] of Egypt[H4693] shall be diminished[H1809] and dried up[H2717]; the reeds[H7070] and flags[H5488] shall wither away[H7060].
7. The meadows[H6169] by the Nile[H2975], by the brink[H6310] of the Nile[H2975], and all the sown[H4218] fields of the Nile[H2975], shall become dry[H3001], be driven away[H5086], and be no more.
8. And the fishers[H1771] shall lament[H578], and all they that cast[H7993] angle[H2443] into the Nile[H2975] shall mourn[H56], and they that spread[H6566] nets[H4365] upon[H6440] the waters[H4325] shall languish[H535].
9. Moreover they that work[H5647] in combed[H8305] flax[H6593], and they that weave[H707] white cloth[H2355], shall be confounded[H954].
10. And the pillars[H8356] of Egypt shall be broken[H1792] in pieces[H6213]; all they that work for hire[H7938] shall be grieved[H99] in soul[H5315].
11. The princes[H8269] of Zoan[H6814] are utterly foolish[H191]; the counsel[H6098] of the wisest[H2450] counsellors[H3289] of Pharaoh[H6547] is become brutish[H1197]: how say[H559] ye unto Pharaoh[H6547], I am the son[H1121] of the wise[H2450], the son[H1121] of ancient[H6924] kings[H4428]?
12. Where[H335] then[H645] are thy wise[H2450] men[H5046]? and let them tell thee now[H3045]; and let them know what Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635] hath purposed[H3289] concerning Egypt[H4714].
13. The princes[H8269] of Zoan[H6814] are become fools[H2973], the princes[H8269] of Memphis[H5297] are deceived[H5377]; they have caused Egypt[H4714] to go astray[H8582], that are the corner-stone[H6438] of her tribes[H7626].
14. Jehovah[H3068] hath mingled[H4537] a spirit[H7307] of perverseness[H5773] in the midst[H7130] of her[H4714]; and they have caused Egypt to go astray[H8582] in every work[H4639] thereof[H7910], as a drunken man staggereth[H8582] in his vomit[H6892].
15. Neither shall there be for Egypt[H4714] any work[H4639], which head[H7218] or tail[H2180], palm-branch[H3712] or rush[H100], may do[H6213].
16. In that day[H3117] shall the Egyptians[H4714] be like unto women[H802]; and they shall tremble[H2729] and fear[H6342] because[H6440] of the shaking[H8573] of the hand[H3027] of Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635], which he shaketh over them[H5130].
17. And the land[H127] of Judah[H3063] shall become a terror[H2283] unto Egypt[H4714]; every one to whom mention[H2142] is made thereof shall be afraid[H6342], because[H6440] of the purpose[H6098] of Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635], which he purposeth against it[H3289].
18. In that day[H3117] there shall be five[H2568] cities[H5892] in the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714] that speak[H1696] the language[H8193] of Canaan[H3667], and swear[H7650] to Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635]; one[H259] shall be called[H559] The city[H5892] of destruction[H2041].
19. In that day[H3117] shall there be an altar[H4196] to Jehovah[H3068] in the midst[H8432] of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], and a pillar[H4676] at[H681] the border[H1366] thereof to Jehovah[H3068].
20. And it shall be for a sign[H226] and for a witness[H5707] unto Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635] in the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714]; for they shall cry[H6817] unto Jehovah[H3068] because[H6440] of oppressors[H3905], and he will send[H7971] them a saviour[H3467], and a defender[H7227], and he will deliver them[H5337].
21. And Jehovah[H3068] shall be known[H3045] to Egypt[H4714], and the Egyptians[H4714] shall know[H3045] Jehovah[H3068] in that day[H3117]; yea[H5647], they shall worship with sacrifice[H2077] and oblation[H4503], and shall vow[H5087] a vow[H5088] unto Jehovah[H3068], and shall perform it[H7999].
22. And Jehovah[H3068] will smite[H5062] Egypt[H4714], smiting[H5062] and healing[H7495]; and they shall return[H7725] unto Jehovah[H3068], and he will be entreated[H6279] of them[H7495], and will heal them.
23. In that day[H3117] shall there be a highway[H4546] out of Egypt[H4714] to Assyria[H804], and the Assyrian[H804] shall come[H935] into Egypt[H4714], and the Egyptian[H4714] into Assyria[H804]; and the Egyptians[H4714] shall worship[H5647] with the Assyrians[H804].
24. In that day[H3117] shall Israel[H3478] be the third[H7992] with Egypt[H4714] and with Assyria[H804], a blessing[H1293] in the midst[H7130] of the earth[H776];
25. for that Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635] hath blessed[H1288] them[H559], saying, Blessed[H1288] be Egypt[H4714] my people[H5971], and Assyria[H804] the work[H4639] of my hands[H3027], and Israel[H3478] mine inheritance[H5159].
