Isaiah 19:14-16
International Standard Version
Isaiah 19:14-16
International Standard Version
14 The Lord has mixed[a] within them[b] a spirit of confusion;
so they make Egypt stagger in all that it does,
like a drunkard staggers around in his vomit.
15 As a result, there will be nothing for Egypt
that head or tail, palm branch or reed, can do.[c]
Egypt and Syria Will Worship God
16 At that time,[d] the Egyptians will be like women—they[e] will shudder and be afraid before the uplifted hand of the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, when he brandishes his hand against her.[f]
