1599 Geneva Bible
18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt [a]speak the language of Canaan, and shall [b]swear by the Lord of hosts: one shall be called the city of [c]destruction.
19 In that day shall the altar of the Lord be in the midst of the land of Egypt, and [d]a pillar by the border thereof unto the Lord.
20 And 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 [e]a Savior, and a great man, and shall deliver them.
