Egypt, Assyria, Israel Blessed

Isaiah 19

16 In that day the Egyptians will be u like women, and v tremble with fear before the hand that the Lord of hosts shakes over them. 17 And the land of Judah will become a terror to the Egyptians. Everyone to whom it is mentioned will fear because of the purpose that the Lord of hosts has purposed against them.

18 w In that day there will be x five cities in the land of Egypt that y speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the Lord of hosts. One of these will be called the City of Destruction. 1

19 In that day there will be an z altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a a pillar to the Lord at its border. 20 a It will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry to the Lord because of oppressors, b he will send them a savior and defender, and deliver them. 21 c And the Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians will know the Lord in that day d and worship with sacrifice and offering, and they will make vows to the Lord and perform them. 22 e And the Lord will strike Egypt, striking and healing, and they will return to the Lord, and he will listen to their pleas for mercy and heal them.

23 f In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt into Assyria, g and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.

24 In that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, h a blessing in the midst of the earth, 25 whom the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying, "Blessed be Egypt i my people, and Assyria j the work of my hands, and k Israel my inheritance."
