Isaías — Capítulo 19

KJVThe burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

KJVAnd I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, {and} kingdom against kingdom. {set: Heb. mingle}

KJVAnd the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards. {fail: Heb. be emptied} {destroy: Heb. swallow up}

KJVAnd the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts. {give...: or, shut up}

KJVAnd the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.

KJVAnd they shall turn the rivers far away; {and} the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.

KJVThe paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no {more}. {and be...: Heb. and shall not be}

KJVThe fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.

KJVMoreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded. {networks: or, white works}

KJVAnd they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices {and} ponds for fish. {purposes: Heb. foundations} {for fish: Heb. of living things}

KJVSurely 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?

KJVWhere {are} they? where {are} thy wise {men}? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.

KJVThe 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. {they that...: or, governors: Heb. corners}

KJVThe LORD 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. {a perverse...: Heb. a spirit of perversities}

KJVNeither shall there be {any} work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.

KJVIn that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shaketh over it.

KJVAnd 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 the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it.

KJVIn that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction. {the language: Heb. the lip} {of destruction: or, of Heres, or, of the sun}

KJVIn that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.

KJVAnd it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.

KJVAnd the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform {it}.

KJVAnd the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal {it}: and they shall return {even} to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.

KJVIn 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 serve with the Assyrians.

KJVIn that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, {even} a blessing in the midst of the land:

KJVWhom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed {be} Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
