I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian,
and they will fight,
    brother against brother,
    neighbor against neighbor,
    city against city,
    and kingdom against kingdom.
The spirit in the Egyptians will fail completely.
I will frustrate their plans.
They will turn to their worthless gods,[a]
to the spirits of the dead,
to mediums and spiritists.
But I will hand the Egyptians over to a cruel master,
and a fierce king will rule over them,
declares the Lord, the Lord of Armies.
