12. Where are they? Where are thy wise men? Let them tell thee now, or let them cause thee to know what the Lord of the hosts has purposed upon Egypt.
13. The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even those that are the stay of the tribes thereof.
14. The Lord has mingled a perverse spirit in its midst, and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
15. Neither shall it be of any value unto Egypt, any work which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.
16. In that day Egypt shall be like unto women, and it shall be afraid and fear in the presence of the tall hand of the Lord of the hosts, which he shall raise up over them.
17. And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt; every one that makes mention of it shall be afraid in himself because of the counsel of the Lord of the hosts which he has determined against it.
18. In that day five cities in the land of Egypt shall speak the language of Canaan and swear to the Lord of the hosts; one shall be called The city of destruction.
19. In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt and a pyramid titled “To the Lord” at the border thereof.
20. And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of the 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 Prince, and he shall deliver them.
21. And the Lord shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day and shall do sacrifice and oblation; they shall vow vows unto the Lord and perform them.
