*
Surely the princes of Zoan are fools ;
Pharaoh '
s wise counselors give foolish counsel .
How do you say to Pharaoh , "
I am the son of the wise ,
The son of ancient kings ?"
*
Where are they ?
Where are your wise men ?
Let them tell you now ,
And let them know what the LORD of hosts has purposed against Egypt .
*
The princes of Zoan have become fools ;
The princes of Noph are deceived ;
They have also deluded Egypt ,
Those who are the mainstay of its tribes .
*
The LORD has mingled a perverse spirit in her midst ;
And they have caused Egypt to err in all her work ,
As a drunken man staggers in his vomit .
*
Neither will there be any work for Egypt ,
Which the head or tail ,
Palm branch or bulrush ,
may do .
*
In that day Egypt will be like women ,
and will be afraid and fear because of the waving of the hand of the LORD of hosts ,
which He waves over it .
*
And the land of Judah will be a terror to Egypt ;
everyone who makes mention of it will be afraid in himself ,
because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts which He has determined against it .
*
In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear by the LORD of hosts ;
one will be called the City of Destruction .
*
In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt ,
and a pillar to the LORD at its border .
*
And it 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 Savior and a Mighty One ,
and He will deliver them .
*
Then the LORD will be known to Egypt ,
and the Egyptians will know the LORD in that day ,
and will make sacrifice and offering ;
yes ,
they will make a vow to the LORD and perform it .
*
And the LORD will strike Egypt ,
He will strike and heal it ;
they will return to the LORD ,
and He will be entreated by them and heal them .
*
In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria ,
and the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria ,
and the Egyptians will serve with the Assyrians .
*
In that day Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria--a blessing in the midst of the land ,
*
whom the LORD of hosts shall bless ,
saying , "
Blessed is Egypt My people ,
and Assyria the work of My hands ,
and Israel My inheritance ."
