13. The princes of Zoan are fools. the princes of Noph are deceived. The cornerstone of her tribes have led Egypt astray.
14. Adonai has mixed within her a spirit of dizziness. They make Egypt stagger in every work, as a drunkard staggers in his vomit.
15. There will be no work for Egypt to do, for head or tail, palm branch or rush.
16. In that day Egypt will be like women trembling with fear, because of the shaking hand of Adonai-Tzva’ot, which He is about to wave over it.
17. The land of Judah will terrify Egypt. Anyone who mentions it will be afraid, because of what Adonai-Tzva’ot has surely purposed against it.
18. In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan, swearing allegiance to Adonai-Tzva’ot. One used to be called the City of the Sun.
19. In that day there will be an altar to Adonai in the middle of the land of Egypt, and next to the border a pillar to Adonai.
20. It will be as a sign and a witness to Adonai-Tzva’ot in the land of Egypt. For they will cry to Adonai because of oppressors, and He will send them a savior and defender—and he will deliver them.
