The Burden against Egypt
This is the burden against Egypt: Exo 12:12Rev 1:7Ezk 30:13Jol 3:19Jos 2:11Deu 33:26Ezk 29:1-21Isa 13:1
Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud;
He is coming to Egypt.
The idols of Egypt will tremble before Him,
and the hearts of the Egyptians will melt within them.
“So I will incite Egyptian against Egyptian; Jdg 7:221Sa 14:20Mat 10:36Ezk 38:21Mat 10:21Mat 12:25Rev 17:12-172Ch 20:22-23
brother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor,
city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be emptied out from among them, Isa 8:19Dan 2:21Ch 10:13Isa 44:25Pro 21:301Sa 25:372Ch 25:16-202Sa 15:31
and I will frustrate their plans,
so that they will resort to idols and spirits of the dead,
to mediums and spiritists.
I will deliver the Egyptians into the hands of harsh masters, Isa 20:4Ezk 29:19Jer 46:261Sa 23:7Isa 19:2Psa 31:8
and a fierce king will rule over them,”
declares the Lord GOD of Hosts.
The waters of the Nile will dry up, Ezk 30:12Jer 51:36Zec 14:18Zec 10:11
and the riverbed will be parched and empty.
The canals will stink; Isa 37:25Exo 7:18Job 8:112Ki 19:24Exo 2:3Isa 15:6Isa 18:2
the streams of Egypt will trickle and dry up;
the reeds and rushes will wither.
The bulrushes by the Nile, Ezk 19:13Isa 23:3Isa 32:20Jer 14:4Jol 1:17-18
by the mouth of the river,
and all the fields sown along the Nile,
will wither, blow away, and be no more.
Then the fishermen will mourn, Ezk 47:10Hab 1:15Num 11:5Exo 7:21
all who cast a hook into the Nile will lament,
and those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.
The workers in flax will be dismayed, Ezk 27:7Pro 7:161Ki 10:28
and the weavers of fine linen will turn pale.
The workers in cloth 1will be dejected, Exo 8:5Deu 11:10Exo 7:19
and all the hired workers will be sick at heart.
The princes of Zoan are mere fools; Num 13:221Ki 4:30Act 7:22Isa 30:4Psa 78:43Gen 41:38-39Psa 78:121Co 1:19-20
Pharaoh’s wise counselors give senseless advice.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
“I am one of the wise,
a son of eastern kings”?
Where are your wise men now? 1Co 1:20Isa 14:24Isa 40:13-14Isa 41:22-23Isa 44:7Isa 47:10-13Isa 5:21Jdg 9:38
Let them tell you and reveal
what the LORD of Hosts has planned against Egypt.
The princes of Zoan have become fools; Ezk 30:13Jer 2:16Jer 46:14Jer 46:19Zec 10:4Isa 19:111Pe 2:71Sa 14:38
the princes of Memphis 2are deceived.
The cornerstones of her tribes
have led Egypt astray.
The LORD has poured into her 1Ki 22:20-232Th 2:11Ezk 14:7-9Isa 47:10-11Jer 25:27Job 12:25Isa 19:2Isa 28:7-8
a spirit of confusion.
Egypt has been led astray in all she does,
as a drunkard staggers through his own vomit.
There is nothing Egypt can do— Isa 9:14-151Th 4:11-12Hab 3:17Hag 1:11Pro 14:23Psa 128:2
head or tail, palm or reed.
