Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

1 Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and cometh to Egypt; and the false gods of Egypt shall shake at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

2 And I will stir up Egypt against Egypt, and they shall fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against his neighbour; city against city, kingdom against kingdom.

3 And the spirit of Egypt shall be made empty in the midst of it; and I will swallow up the counsel thereof; and they shall inquire of the false gods, and the mutterers, and them that have familiar spirits, and the wizards.

4 And I will confine Egypt into the hand of a hard lord; and a harsh king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the Lord of Hosts.
