Isaiah 19:15-17
International Standard Version
15 As a result, there will be nothing for Egypt
that head or tail, palm branch or reed, can do.[a]

16 At that time,[b] the Egyptians will be like women—they[c] will shudder and be afraid before the uplifted hand of the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, when he brandishes his hand against her.[d] 17 And the land of Judah will become a terror to the Egyptians. Everyone to whom it is mentioned will be afraid, because of the uplifted hand[e] of the Lord of the Heavenly Armies that[f] is turning in their direction.
