Yahweh Will Bless Egypt, Assyria, and Israel

¹⁶ In that day the Egyptians will become like women, and they will tremble and be in ^(J)dread because of the ^(K)waving of the hand of Yahweh of hosts, which He is going to wave over them. ¹⁷ And the land of Judah will become a ^[h]terror to Egypt; everyone ^[i]to whom it is mentioned will be in dread of it because of the ^(L)counsel of Yahweh of hosts which He is counseling against them.

¹⁸ In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will be speaking the language of Canaan and ^(M)swearing allegiance to Yahweh of hosts; one will be called the City of ^[j]Destruction.

¹⁹ In that day there will be an ^(N)altar to Yahweh in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a ^(O)pillar to Yahweh near its border. ²⁰ And it will become a sign and a witness to Yahweh of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to Yahweh because of oppressors, and He will send them a ^(P)Savior and a ^[k](Q)Champion, and He will deliver them. ²¹ Thus Yahweh will make Himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know Yahweh in that day. They will even worship with ^(R)sacrifice and offering, and they will make a vow to Yahweh and pay it. ²² And Yahweh will smite Egypt, smiting but ^(S)healing; so they will ^(T)return to Yahweh, and He will be moved by their entreaty and will heal them.

²³ In that day there will be a ^(U)highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrians will come into Egypt and the Egyptians into Assyria, and the Egyptians will ^(V)worship with the Assyrians.

²⁴ In that day Israel will be the third party with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth, ²⁵ whom Yahweh of hosts has blessed, saying, “Blessed is ^(W)Egypt My people, and Assyria ^(X)the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.”
