Old Testament

New Testament

Isaiah 19:13-20 Modern English Version (MEV)

13. The princes of Zoan have become fools;the princes of Memphis are deceived;they have also seduced Egypt,even those who are the cornerstone of her tribes.

14. The Lord has mingleda perverse spirit in her;so they have caused Egypt to err in her every work,as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.

15. Nor shall there be any work for Egypt,which its head or tail, its branch or bulrush, may do.

16. In that day Egypt shall become like women. And it shall be afraid and be in dread because of the shaking of the hand of the Lord of Hosts which He is about to shake over it.

17. The land of Judah shall become a terror to Egypt. Everyone to whom it is mentioned shall be in dread of it, because of the counsel of the Lord of 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 Hosts. One shall be called the City of Destruction.

19. In that day there shall be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border.

20. It shall be for a sign and for a witness to the Lord of Hosts in the land of Egypt. For they shall cry to the Lord because of the oppressors, and He shall send them a Savior and a Champion. And He shall deliver them.
