1. This message came to me concerning Egypt:Look! The lord is advancing against Egypt,riding on a swift cloud.The idols of Egypt tremble.The hearts of the Egyptians melt with fear.
2. “I will make Egyptian fight against Egyptian—brother against brother,neighbor against neighbor,city against city,province against province.
3. The Egyptians will lose heart,and I will confuse their plans.They will plead with their idols for wisdomand call on spirits, mediums, and those who consult the spirits of the dead.
4. I will hand Egypt overto a hard, cruel master.A fierce king will rule them,”says the Lord, the lord of Heaven’s Armies.
