Isaiah 19:2-12 (New American Standard)
View In My Bible
2
"So I will incite Egyptians against Egyptians ; And they will 1each fight against his brother and each against his neighbor, City against city and kingdom against kingdom.
3
"Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be demoralized within them; And I will confound their strategy, So that 2they will resort to idols and ghosts of the dead And to amediums and spiritists.
4
"Moreover, I will deliver the Egyptians into the hand of a 3cruel master, And a bmighty king will rule over them," declares the Lord cGOD of hosts.
5
4The waters from the sea will dry up, And the river will be parched and dry.
6
The d5canals will emit a stench, The e6streams of Egypt will thin out and dry up; 7The reeds and rushes will rot away.
7
The bulrushes by the 8Nile, by the fedge of the Nile And all the sown fields by the Nile Will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
8
And the 9fishermen will lament, And all those who cast a gline into the Nile will mourn, And those who spread nets on the waters will hpine away.
9
Moreover, the manufacturers of linen made from combed flax And the weavers of white 10cloth will be iutterly dejected.
10
And jthe 11pillars of Egypt will be crushed ; All the hired laborers will be grieved in soul.
11
The princes of k12Zoan are mere fools ; The advice of Pharaoh's wisest advisers has become lstupid. How can you men say to Pharaoh, "I am a son of the 13wise, a son of ancient kings "?
12
Well then, where are your wise men ? Please let them tell you, And let them munderstand what the LORD of hosts Has 14purposed against Egypt.
