Isaiah 19:1-4 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. An oracle of Egypt: Look! Yahweh is riding on a swift cloud and is coming to Egypt. And the idols of Egypt will tremble in front of him, and the heart of Egypt melts in his inner parts.

2. “And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians, and each one will fight against his brother and each one against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.

3. And the spirit of the Egyptians will be disturbed in his midst, and I will confuse his plans, and they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead, and the ghosts and the spiritists.

4. And I will hand over the Egyptians into the hand of a hard master, and a powerful king will rule over them,” declares the Lord Yahweh of hosts.
