Isaias

21 And the Lord shall make himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall serve with sacrifice and (meal) offering; and they shall vow a vow unto the Lord, and perform it

22 And the Lord shall smite Egypt, smiting, and healing: and they shall return unto the Lord, and he shall (let himself) be intreated of them, and shall heal them.

23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria; and Assyria shall come into Egypt, and Egypt into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. 14 In that day shall Israel be a third to Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth ;

25 Forasmuch as the Lord of Hosts hath blessed him, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and mine inheritance, Israel.

XX. 1 In the year that the Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it:

2 At that timi spake the Lord by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and pull off thy shoe from thy foot And he did so, going naked and barefoot.

3 And the Lord said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath gone naked and barefoot, three years a sign and a portent upon Egypt and upon Cush:

4 So shall the king of Asshur lead the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, the nakedness of Egypt.

5 And they shall be dismayed and ashamed because of Cush their expectation and Egypt their glorying.

6 And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, thus is our expectation, whither we tied for help, to be delivered from the face of the king of Asshur; and how shall we, we, escape?

XXI. 1 The burden of the desert of the sea; Like whirlwinds in the south, sweeping along; it cometh from the wilderness, from a terrible land.

2 A hard vision is declared unto me: the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the destroyer destroyeth. Go up, Ο Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.

3 Therefore my loins are filled with anguish ; pangs have taken hold upon me, like the pangs of a woman in travail; I am bowed with pain, so that I cannot hear; I am dismayed, so that I cannot see.

4 My heart wandereth, horror affrighteth me; the twilight of my desire hath he turned into trembling for me.

5 They prepare the table, they set the watch, eat, drink. Arise, ye princes, anoint the shield.

6 For thus bath the Lord said unto me, Go, place the watchman; what he shall see, let him declare.

7 And he saw a troop, horsemen in pairs, a troop of asses, a troop of camels; and he hearkened with utmost hearkenings.

8 And he cried (as) a lion, O Lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower by day, and I am placed at my post all the nights:

9 And behold there cometh a troop of men, horsemen in pairs; and he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the (graven) images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.

10 O my threshing, and the son of my (threshing) floor; that which I have heard from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.
