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]

Bless God’s people
16 On that day, the Egyptians will be like women and will tremble with terror before the hand that the Lord of heavenly forces will raise against them. 17 Judah’s land will become what the Egyptians dread; whenever anyone mentions it, they will be terrified because of the plans that the Lord of heavenly forces is making against them.
18 On that day, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan and swear loyalty to the Lord of heavenly forces. One of them will be called “the city of the sun.”[a]
