Thus far is the judgment of Moab.

^53 (A)“When I bring back their captives, the captives of Sodom and her daughters, and the captives of Samaria and her daughters, then I will also bring back ^(B)the captives of your captivity among them,

^26 (A)And I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the hand of his servants. ^(B)Afterward it shall be inhabited as in the days of old,” says the Lord.

¹⁸ Her gain and her pay ^(A)will be set apart for the Lord; it will not be treasured nor laid up, for her gain will be for those who dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for ^[a]fine clothing.

Egypt, Assyria, and Israel Blessed

¹⁸ In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will ^(A)speak the language of Canaan and ^(B)swear by the Lord of hosts; one will be called the City of ^[a]Destruction.

¹⁹ In that day ^(C)there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the ^(D)Lord at its border. ²⁰ And ^(E)it will be for a sign and for a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the Lord because of the oppressors, and He will send them a ^(F)Savior and a Mighty One, and He will deliver them. ²¹ Then the Lord will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will ^(G)know the Lord in that day, and ^(H)will make sacrifice and offering; yes, they will make a vow to the Lord and perform it. ²² And the Lord will strike Egypt, He will strike and ^(I)heal it; they will return to the Lord, and He will be entreated by them and heal them.

²³ In that day ^(J)there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will ^(K)serve with the Assyrians.
