* 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 yidd @#oniy #. * And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord ; and a fierce king shall rule over them , saith the Lord , the LORD of hosts . * And the waters shall fail from the sea , and the river shall be wasted and dried up . * And they shall turn # the rivers far away ; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up : the reeds and flags shall wither . * The paper reeds by the brooks y @#or #, by the mouth of the brooks y @#or #, and every thing sown by the brooks y @#or #, shall wither , be driven away , and be no more . * The fishers also shall mourn , and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament , and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish . * Moreover they that work in fine flax , and they that weave networks , shall be confounded . * And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof , all that make sluices and ponds for fish . * Surely the princes of Zoan are fools , the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish : how say ye unto Pharaoh Par #oh #, I am the son of the wise , the son of ancient kings ? * Where are they ? where are thy wise men ? and let them tell thee now , and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt . * The princes of Zoan are become fools , the princes of Noph are deceived ; they have also seduced Egypt , even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof . * The LORD hath mingled a perverse #av #eh # spirit in the midst thereof : and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof , as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit . * Neither shall there be any work for Egypt , which the head or tail , branch or rush , may do . * In that day shall Egypt be like unto women : and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts , which he shaketh over it . * And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt , every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself , because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts , which he hath determined against it . * In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan K @na #an #, and swear to the LORD of hosts ; one shall be called , The city of destruction . * In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt , and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD . * And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt : for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors , and he shall send them a saviour , and a great one , and he shall deliver them . * And the LORD shall be known to Egypt , and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day , and shall do sacrifice and oblation ; yea , they shall vow a vow unto the LORD , and perform it . * And the LORD shall smite Egypt : he shall smite and heal it : and they shall return even to the LORD , and he shall be intreated of them , and shall heal them . * In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria , and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt , and the Egyptian into Assyria , and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians . * In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria , even a blessing in the midst of the land : * Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless , saying , Blessed be Egypt my people , and Assyria the work of my hands , and Israel mine inheritance .
