kjv Isaiah:19:2-16 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
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 ,
by the mouth of the brooks ,
and every thing sown by the brooks ,
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 ,
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 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 .
