Egypt, Assyria, and Israel Blessed
18 In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will tspeak the language of Canaan and uswear by the Lord of hosts; one will be called the City of 7Destruction.
19 In that day vthere will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the wLord at its border. 20 And xit will be for a sign and for a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the Lord because of the oppressors, and He will send them a ySavior and a Mighty One, and He will deliver them. 21 Then the Lord will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will zknow the Lord in that day, and awill make sacrifice and offering; yes, they will make a vow to the Lord and perform it. 22 And the Lord will strike Egypt, He will strike and bheal it; they will return to the Lord, and He will be entreated by them and heal them.
23 In that day cthere will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will dserve with the Assyrians.
24 In that day Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing in the midst of the land, 25 whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, “Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria ethe work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.”

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
