A Prophecy Against Egypt

19 A prophecy^(A) against Egypt:^(B)

¹⁶ In that day^(AK) the Egyptians will become weaklings.^(AL) They will shudder with fear^(AM) at the uplifted hand^(AN) 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,^(AO) because of what the Lord Almighty is planning^(AP) against them.

¹⁸ In that day^(AQ) five cities^(AR) in Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance^(AS) to the Lord Almighty. One of them will be called the City of the Sun.^[a](AT)

¹⁹ In that day^(AU) there will be an altar^(AV) to the Lord in the heart of Egypt,^(AW) and a monument^(AX) to the Lord at its border. ²⁰ It will be a sign and witness^(AY) to the Lord Almighty in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the Lord because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior^(AZ) and defender, and he will rescue^(BA) them. ²¹ So the Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians, and in that day they will acknowledge^(BB) the Lord. They will worship^(BC) with sacrifices and grain offerings; they will make vows to the Lord and keep them.^{(BD) 22} The Lord will strike^(BE) Egypt with a plague;^(BF) he will strike them and heal them. They will turn^(BG) to the Lord, and he will respond to their pleas and heal^(BH) them.

²³ In that day^(BI) there will be a highway^(BJ) from Egypt to Assyria.^(BK) The Assyrians will go to Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship^(BL) together. ²⁴ In that day^(BM) Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria,^(BN) a blessing^[b](BO) on the earth. ²⁵ The Lord Almighty will bless^(BP) them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people,^(BQ) Assyria my handiwork,^(BR) and Israel my inheritance.^(BS)”

A Prophecy Against Egypt and Cush

20 In the year that the supreme commander,^(BT) sent by Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod^(BU) and attacked and captured it— ² at that time the Lord spoke through Isaiah son of Amoz.^(BV) He said to him, “Take off the sackcloth^(BW) from your body and the sandals^(BX) from your feet.” And he did so, going around stripped^(BY) and barefoot.^(BZ)

³ Then the Lord said, “Just as my servant^(CA) Isaiah has gone stripped and barefoot for three years,^(CB) as a sign^(CC) and portent^(CD) against Egypt^(CE) and Cush,^{[c](CF) 4} so the king^(CG) of Assyria will lead away stripped^(CH) and barefoot the Egyptian captives^(CI) and Cushite^(CJ) exiles, young and old, with buttocks bared^(CK)—to Egypt’s shame.^{(CL) 5} Those who trusted^(CM) in Cush^(CN) and boasted in Egypt^(CO) will be dismayed and put to shame.^{(CP) 6} In that day^(CQ) the people who live on this coast will say, ‘See what has happened^(CR) to those we relied on,^(CS) those we fled to for help^(CT) and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?^(CU)’”
