The burden{H4853} of Egypt{H4714}. Behold, the LORD{H3068} rideth{H7392}{(H8802)} upon a swift{H7031} cloud{H5645}, and shall come{H935}{(H8804)} into Egypt{H4714}: and the idols{H457} of Egypt{H4714} shall be moved{H5128}{(H8804)} at his presence{H6440}, and the heart{H3824} of Egypt{H4714} shall melt{H4549}{(H8735)} in the midst{H7130} of it.

And I will set{H5526}{(H8773)} the Egyptians{H4714} against the Egyptians{H4714}: and they shall fight{H3898}{(H8738)} every one{H376} against his brother{H251}, and every one{H376} against his neighbour{H7453}; city{H5892} against city{H5892}, and kingdom{H4467} against kingdom{H4467}.

And the spirit{H7307} of Egypt{H4714} shall fail{H1238}{(H8738)} in the midst{H7130} thereof; and I will destroy{H1104}{(H8762)} the counsel{H6098} thereof: and they shall seek{H1875}{(H8804)} to the idols{H457}, and to the charmers{H328}, and to them that have familiar spirits{H178}, and to the wizards{H3049}.

And{H853} the Egyptians{H4714} will I give over{H5534}{(H8765)} into the hand{H3027} of a cruel{H7186} lord{H113}; and a fierce{H5794} king{H4428} shall rule{H4910}{(H8799)} over them, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the Lord{H113}, the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}.

And the waters{H4325} shall fail{H5405}{(H8738)} from the sea{H3220}, and the river{H5104} shall be wasted{H2717}{(H8799)} and dried up{H3001}{(H8804)}.

And they shall turn{H2186} the rivers{H5104} far away{H2186}{(H8689)}; and the brooks{H2975} of defence{H4693} shall be emptied{H1809}{(H8804)} and dried up{H2717}{(H8804)}: the reeds{H7070} and flags{H5488} shall wither{H7060}{(H8804)}.

The paper reeds{H6169} by the brooks{H2975}, by the mouth{H6310} of the brooks{H2975}, and every thing sown{H4218} by the brooks{H2975}, shall wither{H3001}{(H8799)}, be driven away{H5086}{(H8738)}, and be no more.

The fishers{H1771} also shall mourn{H578}{(H8804)}, and all they that cast{H7993}{(H8688)} angle{H2443} into the brooks{H2975} shall lament{H56}{(H8804)}, and they that spread{H6566}{(H8802)} nets{H4365} upon{H6440} the waters{H4325} shall languish{H535}{(H8797)}.

Moreover they that work{H5647}{(H8802)} in fine{H8305} flax{H6593}, and they that weave{H707}{(H8802)} networks{H2355}, shall be confounded{H954}{(H8804)}.

And they shall be broken{H1792}{(H8794)} in the purposes{H8356} thereof, all that make{H6213}{(H8802)} sluices{H7938} and ponds{H99} for fish{H5315}.

Surely the princes{H8269} of Zoan{H6814} are fools{H191}, the counsel{H6098} of the wise{H2450} counsellors{H3289}{(H8802)} of Pharaoh{H6547} is become brutish{H1197}{(H8737)}: how say{H559}{(H8799)} ye unto Pharaoh{H6547}, I am the son{H1121} of the wise{H2450}, the son{H1121} of ancient{H6924} kings{H4428}?

Where{H335} are they? where{H645} are thy wise{H2450} men? and let them tell{H5046}{(H8686)} thee now, and let them know{H3045}{(H8799)} what the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635} hath purposed{H3289}{(H8804)} upon Egypt{H4714}.

The princes{H8269} of Zoan{H6814} are become fools{H2973}{(H8738)}, the princes{H8269} of Noph{H5297} are deceived{H5377}{(H8738)}; they have also seduced{H8582}{(H8689)} Egypt{H4714}, even they that are the stay{H6438} of the tribes{H7626} thereof.

The LORD{H3068} hath mingled{H4537}{(H8804)} a perverse{H5773} spirit{H7307} in the midst{H7130} thereof: and they have caused Egypt{H4714} to err{H8582}{(H8689)} in every work{H4639} thereof, as a drunken{H7910} man staggereth{H8582}{(H8736)} in his vomit{H6892}.

Neither shall there be any work{H4639} for Egypt{H4714}, which the head{H7218} or tail{H2180}, branch{H3712} or rush{H100}, may do{H6213}{(H8799)}.

In that day{H3117} shall Egypt{H4714} be like unto women{H802}: and it shall be afraid{H2729}{(H8804)} and fear{H6342}{(H8804)} because{H6440} of the shaking{H8573} of the hand{H3027} of the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}, which he shaketh{H5130}{(H8688)} over it.

And the land{H127} of Judah{H3063} shall be a terror{H2283} unto Egypt{H4714}, every one that maketh mention{H2142}{(H8686)} thereof shall be afraid{H6342}{(H8799)} in himself, because{H6440} of the counsel{H6098} of the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}, which he hath determined{H3289}{(H8802)} against it.

In that day{H3117} shall five{H2568} cities{H5892} in the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} speak{H1696}{(H8764)} the language{H8193} of Canaan{H3667}, and swear{H7650}{(H8737)} to the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}; one{H259} shall be called{H559}{(H8735)}, The city{H5892} of destruction{H2041}.

In that day{H3117} shall there be an altar{H4196} to the LORD{H3068} in the midst{H8432} of the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714}, and a pillar{H4676} at{H681} the border{H1366} thereof to the LORD{H3068}.

And it shall be for a sign{H226} and for a witness{H5707} unto the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635} in the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714}: for they shall cry{H6817}{(H8799)} unto the LORD{H3068} because{H6440} of the oppressors{H3905}{(H8801)}, and he shall send{H7971}{(H8799)} them a saviour{H3467}{(H8688)}, and a great one{H7227}, and he shall deliver{H5337}{(H8689)} them.

And the LORD{H3068} shall be known{H3045}{(H8738)} to Egypt{H4714}, and the Egyptians{H4714} shall know{H3045}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} in that day{H3117}, and shall do{H5647}{(H8804)} sacrifice{H2077} and oblation{H4503}; yea, they shall vow{H5087}{(H8804)} a vow{H5088} unto the LORD{H3068}, and perform{H7999}{(H8765)} it.

And the LORD{H3068} shall smite{H5062}{(H8804)} Egypt{H4714}: he shall smite{H5062}{(H8800)} and heal{H7495}{(H8800)} it: and they shall return{H7725}{(H8804)} even to the LORD{H3068}, and he shall be intreated{H6279}{(H8738)} of them, and shall heal{H7495}{(H8804)} them.

In that day{H3117} shall there be a highway{H4546} out of Egypt{H4714} to Assyria{H804}, and the Assyrian{H804} shall come{H935}{(H8804)} into Egypt{H4714}, and the Egyptian{H4714} into Assyria{H804}, and the Egyptians{H4714} shall serve{H5647}{(H8804)} with the Assyrians{H804}.

In that day{H3117} shall Israel{H3478} be the third{H7992} with Egypt{H4714} and with Assyria{H804}, even a blessing{H1293} in the midst{H7130} of the land{H776}:

Whom the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635} shall bless{H1288}{(H8765)}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Blessed{H1288}{(H8803)} be Egypt{H4714} my people{H5971}, and Assyria{H804} the work{H4639} of my hands{H3027}, and Israel{H3478} mine inheritance{H5159}.
