Contemporary English Version

^18-19This horrible disaster will strike the Egyptians and everyone else who refuses to go there for the celebration.

^20-21At that time the words “Dedicated to the Lord” will be engraved on the bells worn by horses. In fact, every ordinary cooking pot in Jerusalem will be just as sacred to the Lord All-Powerful as the bowls used at the altar. Any one of them will be acceptable for boiling the meat of sacrificed animals, and there will no longer be a need to sell special pots and bowls.^[a]
