¹This message came to me concerning Egypt:Look! The Lord is advancing against Egypt, riding on a swift cloud.The idols of Egypt tremble.The hearts of the Egyptians melt with fear. ³The Egyptians will lose heart, and I will confuse their plans.They will plead with their idols for wisdomand call on spirits, mediums, and those who consult the spirits of the dead. ⁵The waters of the Nile will fail to rise and flood the fields.The riverbed will be parched and dry. ⁷All the greenery along the riverbankand all the crops along the riverwill dry up and blow away. ⁸The fishermen will lament for lack of work.Those who cast hooks into the Nile will groan, and those who use nets will lose heart. ⁹There will be no flax for the harvesters, no thread for the weavers. ¹⁰They will be in despair, and all the workers will be sick at heart. ¹¹What fools are the officials of Zoan!Their best counsel to the king of Egypt is stupid and wrong.Will they still boast to Pharaoh of their wisdom?Will they dare brag about all their wise ancestors? ¹²Where are your wise counselors, Pharaoh?Let them tell you what God plans, what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies is going to do to Egypt. ¹³The officials of Zoan are fools, and the officials of Memphis#19:13 Hebrew Noph. are deluded.The leaders of the peoplehave led Egypt astray. ¹⁴The Lord has sent a spirit of foolishness on them, so all their suggestions are wrong.They cause Egypt to staggerlike a drunk in his vomit. ¹⁵There is nothing Egypt can do.All are helpless - the head and the tail, the noble palm branch and the lowly reed. ¹⁶In that day the Egyptians will be as weak as women. They will cower in fear beneath the upraised fist of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. ¹⁷Just to speak the name of Israel will terrorize them, for the Lord of Heaven’s Armies has laid out his plans against them. ¹⁸In that day five of Egypt’s cities will follow the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. They will even begin to speak Hebrew, the language of Canaan. One of these cities will be Heliopolis, the City of the Sun.#19:18 Or will be the City of Destruction. ¹⁹In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the heart of Egypt, and there will be a monument to the Lord at its border. ²¹The Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians. Yes, they will know the Lord and will give their sacrifices and offerings to him. They will make a vow to the Lord and will keep it. ²³In that day Egypt and Assyria will be connected by a highway. The Egyptians and Assyrians will move freely between their lands, and they will both worship God. ²⁴In that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth.
