1. An oracle against Egypt: Look, the Lord rides on a swift cloud and is coming to Egypt.Egypt’s idols will tremble before Him, and Egypt’s heart will melt within it.
2. I will provoke Egypt against Egypt;each will fight against his brother and each against his friend,city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
3. Egypt’s spirit will be disturbed within it,and I will frustrate its plans.Then they will seek idols, ghosts,spirits of the dead, and spiritists.
4. I will deliver Egypt into the hands of harsh masters, and a strong king will rule it.This is the declaration of the Lord God of Hosts.
5. The waters of the sea will dry up,and the river will be parched and dry.
6. The channels will stink;they will dwindle, and Egypt’s canals will be parched.Reed and rush will die.
