Isaiah 19:16-18
New American Standard Bible
16 On that day the Egyptians will become like women, and they will tremble and be in great (A)fear because of the (B)waving of the hand of the Lord of armies, which He is going to wave over them. 17 The land of Judah will become a cause of shame to Egypt; everyone to whom it is mentioned will be in great fear because of the (C)plan of the Lord of armies which He is making against them.
18 On that day five cities in the land of Egypt will be speaking the language of Canaan and (D)swearing allegiance to the Lord of armies; one will be called the City of [a]Destruction.
