Isaiah 19

¹The word about Egypt. See, the Lord is seated on a quick-moving cloud, and is coming to Egypt: and the false gods of Egypt will be troubled at his coming, and the heart of Egypt will be turned to water.

²And I will send the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they will be fighting every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; town against town, and kingdom against kingdom.

³And the spirit of Egypt will be troubled in her, and I will make her decisions without effect: and they will be turning to the false gods, and to those who make hollow sounds, and to those who have control of spirits, and to those who are wise in secret arts.

⁴And I will give the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a hard king will be their ruler, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.

⁵And the waters of the sea will be cut off, and the river will become dry and waste:

⁶And the rivers will have an evil smell; the stream of Egypt will become small and dry: all the water-plants will come to nothing.

⁷The grass-lands by the Nile, and everything planted by the Nile, will become dry, or taken away by the wind, and will come to an end.

⁸The fishermen will be sad, and all those who put fishing-lines into the Nile will be full of grief, and those whose nets are stretched out on the waters will have sorrow in their hearts.

⁹And all the workers in linen thread, and those who make cotton cloth, will be put to shame.

¹⁰And the makers of twisted thread will be crushed, and those who ... will be sad in heart.
