² And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians,
    and they will fight, every man against his brother
    and every man against his neighbor,
    city against city, kingdom against kingdom;
³ and the spirit of the Egyptians within them will be emptied out,
    and I will confound their plans;
and they will consult the idols and the sorcerers,
    and the mediums and the wizards;
⁴ and I will give over the Egyptians
    into the hand of a hard master;
and a fierce king will rule over them,
    says the Lord, the Lord of hosts.
