Isaiah 19:1–3

An oracle concerning Egypt.

Behold, the Lord is riding on a swift cloud

and comes to Egypt;

and the idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence,

and the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them.

And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians,

and they will fight, each against another

and each against his neighbor,

city against city, kingdom against kingdom;

and the spirit of the Egyptians within them will be emptied out,

and I will confound their counsel;

and they will inquire of the idols and the sorcerers,

and the mediums and the necromancers;

A prophecy against Egypt:

See, the Lord rides on a swift cloud

and is coming to Egypt.

The idols of Egypt tremble before him,

and the hearts of the Egyptians melt with fear.

“I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian—

brother will fight against brother,

neighbor against neighbor,

city against city,

kingdom against kingdom.

The Egyptians will lose heart,

and I will bring their plans to nothing;

they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead,

the mediums and the spiritists.

A pronouncement concerning Egypt:

Look, the Lord rides on a swift cloud

and is coming to Egypt.

Egypt’s worthless idols will tremble before him,

and Egypt will lose heart.

I will provoke Egyptians against Egyptians;

each will fight against his brother

and each against his friend,

city against city, kingdom against kingdom.

Egypt’s spirit will be disturbed within it,

and I will frustrate its plans.

Then they will inquire of worthless idols, ghosts,

mediums, and spiritists.

An oracle of Egypt:

Look! Yahweh is riding on a swift cloud

and is coming to Egypt.

And the idols of Egypt will tremble in front of him,

and the heart of Egypt melts in his inner parts.

“And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians,

and each one will fight against his brother

and each one against his neighbor,

city against city, kingdom against kingdom.

And the spirit of the Egyptians will be disturbed in his midst,

and I will confuse his plans,

and they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead,

and the ghosts and the spiritists.

The burden of Egypt.

Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt:

And the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence,

And the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians:

And they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour;

City against city, and kingdom against kingdom.

And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof;

And I will destroy the counsel thereof:

And they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers,

And to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
