Isaiah 19:18–25

¹⁸In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will be speaking the language of Canaan and ^aswearing allegiance to the Lord of hosts; one will be called the City of ¹Destruction.

¹⁹In that day there will be an ^aaltar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a ^bpillar to the Lord near its border.

²⁰It will become a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the Lord because of oppressors, and He will send them a ^aSavior and a ^1bChampion, and He will deliver them.

²¹Thus the Lord will make Himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the Lord in that day. They will even worship with ^asacrifice and offering, and will make a vow to the Lord and perform it.

²²The Lord will strike Egypt, striking but ^ahealing; so they will ^breturn to the Lord, and He will respond to them and will heal them.

²³In that day there will be a ^ahighway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrians will come into Egypt and the Egyptians into Assyria, and the Egyptians will ^bworship with the Assyrians.

²⁴In that day Israel will be the third party with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth,

²⁵whom the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying, “Blessed is ^aEgypt My people, and Assyria ^bthe work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.”
