Isaiah 19:2-4
International Standard Version
2 I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians,
and everyone will fight against his brother,
everyone against his neighbor,
city[a] against city,
kingdom against kingdom.
3 The spirits of the Egyptians within them will be drained of courage,[b]
and I will bring their plans to nothing.
They will consult idols[c] and spirits of the dead,
and mediums and spiritists.
4 I will hand the Egyptians over
to the power of a cruel master,
and a fierce king will rule over them,”
declares the Lord God of the Heavenly Armies.
