Dual Panel1The burden <04853> of Egypt <04714>_. Behold, the LORD <03068> rideth <07392> (8802) upon a swift <07031> cloud <05645>_, and shall come <0935> (8804) into Egypt <04714>_: and the idols <0457> of Egypt <04714> shall be moved <05128> (8804) at his presence <06440>_, and the heart <03824> of Egypt <04714> shall melt <04549> (8735) in the midst <07130> of it.
2And I will set <05526> (8773) the Egyptians <04714> against the Egyptians <04714>_: and they shall fight <03898> (8738) every one <0376> against his brother <0251>_, and every one <0376> against his neighbour <07453>_; city <05892> against city <05892>_, [and] kingdom <04467> against kingdom <04467>_. {set: Heb. mingle}
3And the spirit <07307> of Egypt <04714> shall fail <01238> (8738) in the midst <07130> thereof; and I will destroy <01104> (8762) the counsel <06098> thereof: and they shall seek <01875> (8804) to the idols <0457>_, and to the charmers <0328>_, and to them that have familiar spirits <0178>_, and to the wizards <03049>_. {fail: Heb. be emptied} {destroy: Heb. swallow up}
4And <0853> the Egyptians <04714> will I give over <05534> (8765) into the hand <03027> of a cruel <07186> lord <0113>_; and a fierce <05794> king <04428> shall rule <04910> (8799) over them, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0113>_, the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>_. {give...: or, shut up}
5And the waters <04325> shall fail <05405> (8738) from the sea <03220>_, and the river <05104> shall be wasted <02717> (8799) and dried up <03001> (8804)_.
6And they shall turn <02186> (0) the rivers <05104> far away <02186> (8689)_; [and] the brooks <02975> of defence <04693> shall be emptied <01809> (8804) and dried up <02717> (8804)_: the reeds <07070> and flags <05488> shall wither <07060> (8804)_.
7The paper reeds <06169> by the brooks <02975>_, by the mouth <06310> of the brooks <02975>_, and every thing sown <04218> by the brooks <02975>_, shall wither <03001> (8799)_, be driven away <05086> (8738)_, and be no [more]. {and be...: Heb. and shall not be}
8The fishers <01771> also shall mourn <0578> (8804)_, and all they that cast <07993> (8688) angle <02443> into the brooks <02975> shall lament <056> (8804)_, and they that spread <06566> (8802) nets <04365> upon <06440> the waters <04325> shall languish <0535> (8797)_.
9Moreover they that work <05647> (8802) in fine <08305> flax <06593>_, and they that weave <0707> (8802) networks <02355>_, shall be confounded <0954> (8804)_. {networks: or, white works}
10And they shall be broken <01792> (8794) in the purposes <08356> thereof, all that make <06213> (8802) sluices <07938> [and] ponds <099> for fish <05315>_. {purposes: Heb. foundations} {for fish: Heb. of living things}
11Surely the princes <08269> of Zoan <06814> [are] fools <0191>_, the counsel <06098> of the wise <02450> counsellors <03289> (8802) of Pharaoh <06547> is become brutish <01197> (8737)_: how say <0559> (8799) ye unto Pharaoh <06547>_, I [am] the son <01121> of the wise <02450>_, the son <01121> of ancient <06924> kings <04428>_?
12Where <0335> [are] they? where <0645> [are] thy wise <02450> [men]? and let them tell <05046> (8686) thee now, and let them know <03045> (8799) what the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath purposed <03289> (8804) upon Egypt <04714>_.
13The princes <08269> of Zoan <06814> are become fools <02973> (8738)_, the princes <08269> of Noph <05297> are deceived <05377> (8738)_; they have also seduced <08582> (8689) Egypt <04714>_, [even they that are] the stay <06438> of the tribes <07626> thereof. {they that...: or, governors: Heb. corners}
14The LORD <03068> hath mingled <04537> (8804) a perverse <05773> spirit <07307> in the midst <07130> thereof: and they have caused Egypt <04714> to err <08582> (8689) in every work <04639> thereof, as a drunken <07910> [man] staggereth <08582> (8736) in his vomit <06892>_. {a perverse...: Heb. a spirit of perversities}
15Neither shall there be [any] work <04639> for Egypt <04714>_, which the head <07218> or tail <02180>_, branch <03712> or rush <0100>_, may do <06213> (8799)_.
16In that day <03117> shall Egypt <04714> be like unto women <0802>_: and it shall be afraid <02729> (8804) and fear <06342> (8804) because <06440> of the shaking <08573> of the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>_, which he shaketh <05130> (8688) over it.
17And the land <0127> of Judah <03063> shall be a terror <02283> unto Egypt <04714>_, every one that maketh mention <02142> (8686) thereof shall be afraid <06342> (8799) in himself, because <06440> of the counsel <06098> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>_, which he hath determined <03289> (8802) against it.
18In that day <03117> shall five <02568> cities <05892> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> speak <01696> (8764) the language <08193> of Canaan <03667>_, and swear <07650> (8737) to the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>_; one <0259> shall be called <0559> (8735)_, The city <05892> of destruction <02041>_. {the language: Heb. the lip} {of destruction: or, of Heres, or, of the sun}
19In that day <03117> shall there be an altar <04196> to the LORD <03068> in the midst <08432> of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>_, and a pillar <04676> at <0681> the border <01366> thereof to the LORD <03068>_.
20And it shall be for a sign <0226> and for a witness <05707> unto the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>_: for they shall cry <06817> (8799) unto the LORD <03068> because <06440> of the oppressors <03905> (8801)_, and he shall send <07971> (8799) them a saviour <03467> (8688)_, and a great one <07227>_, and he shall deliver <05337> (8689) them.
21And the LORD <03068> shall be known <03045> (8738) to Egypt <04714>_, and the Egyptians <04714> shall know <03045> (8804) the LORD <03068> in that day <03117>_, and shall do <05647> (8804) sacrifice <02077> and oblation <04503>_; yea, they shall vow <05087> (8804) a vow <05088> unto the LORD <03068>_, and perform <07999> (8765) [it].
22And the LORD <03068> shall smite <05062> (8804) Egypt <04714>_: he shall smite <05062> (8800) and heal <07495> (8800) [it]: and they shall return <07725> (8804) [even] to the LORD <03068>_, and he shall be intreated <06279> (8738) of them, and shall heal <07495> (8804) them.
23In that day <03117> shall there be a highway <04546> out of Egypt <04714> to Assyria <0804>_, and the Assyrian <0804> shall come <0935> (8804) into Egypt <04714>_, and the Egyptian <04714> into Assyria <0804>_, and the Egyptians <04714> shall serve <05647> (8804) with the Assyrians <0804>_.
24In that day <03117> shall Israel <03478> be the third <07992> with Egypt <04714> and with Assyria <0804>_, [even] a blessing <01293> in the midst <07130> of the land <0776>_:
25Whom the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> shall bless <01288> (8765)_, saying <0559> (8800)_, Blessed <01288> (8803) [be] Egypt <04714> my people <05971>_, and Assyria <0804> the work <04639> of my hands <03027>_, and Israel <03478> mine inheritance <05159>_.
