Isaiah 19:3-5

New American Standard Bible

³Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be demoralized within them;
And I will confuse their strategy,
So that ^(A)they will resort to idols and ghosts of the dead,
And to ^[a]mediums and spiritists.
⁴Furthermore, I will hand the Egyptians over to a ^(B)cruel master,
And a ^[b]mighty king will rule over them,” declares the Lord ^[c]God of armies.

⁵^(C)The waters from the sea will dry up,
And the river will be parched and dry.
