New International Version
16 In that day(A) the Egyptians will become weaklings.(B) They will shudder with fear(C) at the uplifted hand(D) that the Lord Almighty raises against them. 17 And the land of Judah will bring terror to the Egyptians; everyone to whom Judah is mentioned will be terrified,(E) because of what the Lord Almighty is planning(F) against them.
18 In that day(G) five cities(H) in Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance(I) to the Lord Almighty. One of them will be called the City of the Sun.[a](J)

Egypt Will Know the Lord
16 On that day Egypt will be like women. She will tremble with fear because of the threatening hand of the Lord of Hosts when He raises it against her. 17 The land of Judah will terrify Egypt; whenever Judah is mentioned, Egypt will tremble because of what the Lord of Hosts 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 Hosts. One of the cities will be called the City of the Sun.[a][b]
