Isaiah 19:16-18
English Standard Version
Egypt, Assyria, Israel Blessed
16 In that day the Egyptians will be (A)like women, and (B)tremble with fear before the hand that the Lord of hosts shakes over them. 17 And the land of Judah will become a terror to the Egyptians. Everyone to whom it is mentioned will fear because of the purpose that the Lord of hosts has purposed against them.
18 (C)In that day there will be (D)five cities in the land of Egypt that (E)speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the Lord of hosts. One of these will be called the City of Destruction.[a]

Egypt Will Know the Lord
16 On that day Egypt will be like women and will tremble with fear because of the threatening hand of the Lord of Armies when he raises it against them. 17 The land of Judah will terrify Egypt; whenever Judah is mentioned, Egypt will tremble because of what the Lord of Armies has planned(A) against it.
18 On that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear loyalty to the Lord of Armies. One of the cities will be called the City of the Sun.[a][b]
