1. The burden against Egypt.Behold, the Lord rides on a swift cloud,And will come into Egypt;The idols of Egypt will totter at His presence,And the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.
2. “I will set Egyptians against Egyptians;Everyone will fight against his brother,And everyone against his neighbor,City against city, kingdom against kingdom.
3. The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst;I will destroy their counsel,And they will consult the idols and the charmers,The mediums and the sorcerers.
4. And the Egyptians I will giveInto the hand of a cruel master,And a fierce king will rule over them,”Says the Lord, the Lord of hosts.
