Isaiah 19:18–25

^18wIn that day there will be ^xfive cities in the land of Egypt that ^yspeak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the Lord of hosts. One of these will be called the City of Destruction.²

¹⁹In that day there will be an ^zaltar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a ^apillar to the Lord at its border. ^20aIt will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry to the Lord because of oppressors, ^bhe will send them a savior and defender, and deliver them. ^21cAnd the Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians will know the Lord in that day ^dand worship with sacrifice and offering, and they will make vows to the Lord and perform them. ^22eAnd the Lord will strike Egypt, striking and healing, and they will return to the Lord, and he will listen to their pleas for mercy and heal them.

^23fIn that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt into Assyria, ^gand the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.

²⁴In that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, ^ha blessing in the midst of the earth, ²⁵whom the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying, “Blessed be Egypt ⁱmy people, and Assyria ^jthe work of my hands, and ^kIsrael my inheritance.”
