Isaiah 19:2-4
The Voice
2, 4 The Lord, the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, says,
Eternal One: I will subject the Egyptians to oppressive forces
and heartless leadership of a dictator-king.
I will make them turn against each other,
Egyptian against Egyptian, a civil war,
Right down to the houses within a neighborhood—
city against city, district against district.[a]
3 They’ll lose all courage and I’ll frustrate their plans.
They’ll seek the advice of long dead ancestors and empty idols,
mediums and fortune-tellers.
But it is I who determine their fate.
Isaiah 19:2-4
New International Version
2 “I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian—
brother will fight against brother,(A)
neighbor against neighbor,
city against city,
kingdom against kingdom.(B)
3 The Egyptians will lose heart,(C)
and I will bring their plans(D) to nothing;(E)
they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead,
the mediums and the spiritists.(F)
4 I will hand the Egyptians over
to the power of a cruel master,
and a fierce king(G) will rule over them,”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
