Isaiah 19:18-20
Easy-to-Read Version
18 At that time there will be five cities in Egypt where people speak Hebrew.[a] One of these cities will be named “Destruction City.”[b] The people in these cities will promise to follow the Lord All-Powerful.
19 At that time there will be an altar for the Lord in the middle of Egypt. At the border of Egypt there will be a monument to show honor to the Lord. 20 This will be a sign to show that the Lord All-Powerful does amazing things. Any time the people cry for help from the Lord, he will send help. He will send someone to save and defend the people—to rescue the people from those who hurt them.
