Isaiah 19:16-18
English Standard Version
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]

New Living Translation
16 In that day the Egyptians will be as weak as women. They will cower in fear beneath the upraised fist of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. 17 Just to speak the name of Israel will terrorize them, for the Lord of Heaven’s Armies has laid out his plans against them.
18 In that day five of Egypt’s cities will follow the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. They will even begin to speak Hebrew, the language of Canaan. One of these cities will be Heliopolis, the City of the Sun.[a]
