1
The
burden
of
Egypt.
Behold,
the
LORD
rideth
upon
a
swift
cloud,
and
shall
come
into
Egypt:
and
the
idols
of
Egypt
shall
be
moved
at
his
presence,
and
the
heart
of
Egypt
shall
melt
in
the
midst
of
2
And
I
will
set
the
Egyptians
against
the
Egyptians:
and
they
shall
fight
every
one
against
his
brother,
and
every
one
against
his
neighbour;
city
against
city,
[and]
kingdom
against
kingdom.
3
And
the
spirit
of
Egypt
shall
fail
in
the
midst
thereof;
and
I
will
destroy
the
counsel
thereof:
and
they
shall
seek
to
the
idols,
and
to
the
charmers,
and
to
them
that
have
familiar
spirits,
and
to
the
wizards.
4
And
the
Egyptians
will
I
give
over
into
the
hand
of
a
cruel
lord;
and
a
fierce
king
shall
rule
over
them,
saith
the
Lord,
the
LORD
of
hosts.
5
And
the
waters
shall
fail
from
the
sea,
and
the
river
shall
be
wasted
and
dried
6
And
they
shall
turn
the
rivers
far
away;
[and]
the
brooks
of
defence
shall
be
emptied
and
dried
up:
the
reeds
and
flags
shall
wither.
7
The
paper
reeds
by
the
brooks,
by
the
mouth
of
the
brooks,
and
every
thing
sown
by
the
brooks,
shall
wither,
be
driven
away,
and
be
no
[more].
8
The
fishers
also
shall
mourn,
and
all
they
that
cast
angle
into
the
brooks
shall
lament,
and
they
that
spread
nets
upon
the
waters
shall
languish.
9
Moreover
they
that
work
in
fine
flax,
and
they
that
weave
networks,
shall
be
confounded.
10
And
they
shall
be
broken
in
the
purposes
thereof,
all
that
make
sluices
[and]
ponds
for
fish.
11
Surely
the
princes
of
Zoan
[are]
fools,
the
counsel
of
the
wise
counsellors
of
Pharaoh
is
become
brutish:
how
say
ye
unto
Pharaoh,
I
[am]
the
son
of
the
wise,
the
son
of
ancient
kings?
12
Where
[are]
they?
where
[are]
thy
wise
[men]?
and
let
them
tell
thee
now,
and
let
them
know
what
the
LORD
of
hosts
hath
purposed
upon
Egypt.
13
The
princes
of
Zoan
are
become
fools,
the
princes
of
Noph
are
deceived;
they
have
also
seduced
Egypt,
[even
they
that
are]
the
stay
of
the
tribes
thereof.
14
The
LORD
hath
mingled
a
perverse
spirit
in
the
midst
thereof:
and
they
have
caused
Egypt
to
err
in
every
work
thereof,
as
a
drunken
[man]
staggereth
in
his
vomit.
15
Neither
shall
there
be
[any]
work
for
Egypt,
which
the
head
or
tail,
branch
or
rush,
may
16
In
that
day
shall
Egypt
be
like
unto
women:
and
it
shall
be
afraid
and
fear
because
of
the
shaking
of
the
hand
of
the
LORD
of
hosts,
which
he
shaketh
over
17
And
the
land
of
Judah
shall
be
a
terror
unto
Egypt,
every
one
that
maketh
mention
thereof
shall
be
afraid
in
himself,
because
of
the
counsel
of
the
LORD
of
hosts,
which
he
hath
determined
against
18
In
that
day
shall
five
cities
in
the
land
of
Egypt
speak
the
language
of
Canaan,
and
swear
to
the
LORD
of
hosts;
one
shall
be
called,
The
city
of
destruction.
19
In
that
day
shall
there
be
an
altar
to
the
LORD
in
the
midst
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
a
pillar
at
the
border
thereof
to
the
LORD.
20
And
it
shall
be
for
a
sign
and
for
a
witness
unto
the
LORD
of
hosts
in
the
land
of
Egypt:
for
they
shall
cry
unto
the
LORD
because
of
the
oppressors,
and
he
shall
send
them
a
saviour,
and
a
great
one,
and
he
shall
deliver
them.
21
And
the
LORD
shall
be
known
to
Egypt,
and
the
Egyptians
shall
know
the
LORD
in
that
day,
and
shall
do
sacrifice
and
oblation;
yea,
they
shall
vow
a
vow
unto
the
LORD,
and
perform
[it].
22
And
the
LORD
shall
smite
Egypt:
he
shall
smite
and
heal
[it]:
and
they
shall
return
[even]
to
the
LORD,
and
he
shall
be
intreated
of
them,
and
shall
heal
them.
23
In
that
day
shall
there
be
a
highway
out
of
Egypt
to
Assyria,
and
the
Assyrian
shall
come
into
Egypt,
and
the
Egyptian
into
Assyria,
and
the
Egyptians
shall
serve
with
the
Assyrians.
24
In
that
day
shall
Israel
be
the
third
with
Egypt
and
with
Assyria,
[even]
a
blessing
in
the
midst
of
the
land:
25
Whom
the
LORD
of
hosts
shall
bless,
saying,
Blessed
[be]
Egypt
my
people,
and
Assyria
the
work
of
my
hands,
and
Israel
mine
inheritance.
