19 In that day(A) there will be an altar(B) to the Lord in the heart of Egypt,(C) and a monument(D) to the Lord at its border. 20 It will be a sign and witness(E) 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(F) and defender, and he will rescue(G) them. 21 So the Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians, and in that day they will acknowledge(H) the Lord. They will worship(I) with sacrifices and grain offerings; they will make vows to the Lord and keep them.(J) 22 The Lord will strike(K) Egypt with a plague;(L) he will strike them and heal them. They will turn(M) to the Lord, and he will respond to their pleas and heal(N) them.
