Isaiah 19:18–25

¹⁸In that day there are five cities in the land of Egypt, Speaking the lip of Canaan, And swearing to Jehovah of Hosts, ‘The city of destruction,’ is said of one. ¹⁹In that day there is an altar to Jehovah In the midst of the land of Egypt, And a standing pillar near its border to Jehovah, ²⁰And it hath been for a sign and for a testimony, To Jehovah of Hosts in the land of Egypt, For they cry unto Jehovah from the face of oppressors, And He sendeth to them a saviour, Even a great one, and hath delivered them. ²¹And known hath been Jehovah to Egypt, And the Egyptians have known Jehovah in that day, And done sacrifice and present, And vowed a vow to Jehovah, and completed it. ²²And Jehovah hath smitten Egypt, smiting and healing, And they have turned back unto Jehovah, And He hath been entreated of them, And hath healed them. ²³In that day is a highway out of Egypt to Asshur, And come in have the Assyrians to Egypt, And the Egyptians into Asshur, And the Egyptians have served with the Assyrians. ²⁴In that day is Israel third, After Egypt, and after Asshur, A blessing in the heart of the earth. ²⁵In that Jehovah of Hosts did bless it, saying, ‘Blessed is My people—Egypt, And the work of My hands—Asshur, And Mine inheritance—Israel!’
