Isaiah 19

Gen Z: Isaiah 19

1Egypt's got some heavy vibes. Check it, the Lord's rollin' in on a fast cloud, and when He shows up, the idols are gonna be shook, and Egypt's heart is gonna melt, no cap.

2I'm about to make the Egyptians go all out against each other: bro vs. bro, neighbor vs. neighbor; city vs. city, kingdom vs. kingdom.

3The spirit of Egypt’s gonna be weak sauce; I’m gonna wreck their plans, and they’ll be looking to their idols, charmers, and wizards for help.

4I’m handing over the Egyptians to a savage ruler; a fierce king’s gonna be their boss, says the Lord of hosts.

5The waters are gonna dip from the sea, and the river's gonna be all dried up, fr.

6They’ll turn the rivers away; the brooks for defense will be empty and dry, and the reeds are gonna wither.

7The paper reeds by the brooks and everything planted near them will wither away and be gone, periodt.

8The fishers are gonna be sad, and everyone casting lines into the brooks will be bummed, while those spreading nets on the waters will just chill.

9Those working with fine flax and weaving networks are gonna be confused, no cap.

10They’ll be wrecked in their plans, all those making sluices and ponds for fish.

11For real, the princes of Zoan are total fools; Pharaoh’s wise guys are acting brutish: how do they even tell Pharaoh they’re the sons of the wise kings?

12Where they at? Where are the wise peeps? Let them spill the tea on what the Lord of hosts is planning for Egypt.

13The princes of Zoan are straight-up lost, and those from Noph are getting played; they’ve led Egypt astray, even the ones holding it together.

14The Lord’s mixed in a twisted spirit in the middle of it all; they’ve made Egypt mess up like a drunk dude stumbling in his own mess.

15Egypt won’t have any work to do, whether it’s head or tail, branch or rush, it’s all a no-go.

16On that day, Egypt’s gonna be like women, scared and shook because of the Lord’s hand shaking over them.

17The land of Judah’s gonna be a whole vibe of terror for Egypt; anyone mentioning it will be lowkey scared because of the Lord’s plans against it.

18On that day, five cities in Egypt will be speaking Canaanite and swearing to the Lord of hosts; one’s gonna be called The City of Destruction.

19On that day, there’ll be an altar to the Lord right in the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border for the Lord.

20It’ll be a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in Egypt: they’ll cry out to the Lord because of their oppressors, and He’ll send a goated savior to deliver them.

21The Lord’s gonna be known in Egypt, and the Egyptians will know Him that day, and they’ll do sacrifices and offerings; they’ll vow to the Lord and keep it real.

22The Lord’s gonna smack Egypt: He’ll hit and heal it; they’ll come back to the Lord, and He’ll be there for them and heal them up.

23On that day, there’ll be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrians will roll into Egypt, and the Egyptians will head to Assyria, serving together, no cap.

24On that day, Israel’s gonna be the third wheel with Egypt and Assyria, even a blessing in the land.

25The Lord of hosts will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt, my peeps, and Assyria, the work of my hands, and Israel, my inheritance.”

KJV: Isaiah 19

1The 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.

2And 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.

3And 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.

4And 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.

5And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.

6And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.

7The 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.

8The 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.

9Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.

10And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.

11Surely 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?

12Where 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.

13The 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.

14The 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.

15Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.

16In 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.

17And 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.

18In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the Lord of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.

19In 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.

20And 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.

21And 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.

22And 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.

23In 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.

24In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:

25Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
