⁷ Concerning Edom, thus says the Lord: There is no longer wisdom in Teman, counsel has perished from the wise ones, their wisdom is gone,

²⁶ There shall be woe upon woe, and there shall be message upon message; and a vision shall be sought from a prophet, but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.

¹⁴ And I will destroy the land of Pathros, and will send fire upon Tanis, and will execute vengeance on Noph.

²² And Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in words and deeds.

¹⁹ For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the understanding of the prudent I will annul." ²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

³⁸ And Zebul said to him, And where is your mouth as you spoke, Who is Abimelech that we should serve him? Is not this the people whom you despised? Go forth now, and set the battle in array against him.

⁶ Then shall He declare to you the power of wisdom, for it shall be double of that which is with you; and then shall you know, that a just recompense of your sins has come to you from the Lord. ⁷ Will you find out the traces of the Lord? Or have you come to the end of that which the Almighty has made?

²¹ Woe to them that are wise in their own conceit, and knowing in their own sight.

²⁴ Thus says the Lord of hosts, As I have said, so it shall be; and as I have purposed, so the matter shall remain;

¹³ Who has known the mind of the Lord? And who has been His counselor, to instruct Him? ¹⁴ Or with whom has He taken counsel, and he has instructed Him? Or who has taught Him judgment, or who has taught Him the way of understanding;

²² Let them draw near, and declare to you what things shall come to pass; or tell us what things were of old, and we will apply our understanding, and we shall know what are the last and the future things; ²³ tell us, declare to us the things that are coming on at the last time, and we shall know that you are gods; do good, and do evil, and we shall wonder, and see at the same time

⁷ Who is like Me? Let him stand, and call, and declare, and prepare for Me from the time that I made man forever; and let them tell you the things that are coming before they arrive.

¹⁰ for your trusting in wickedness; for you said, I am, and there is not another; know therefore the understanding of these things and your harlotry shall be your shame; for you said in your heart, I am, and there is not another. ¹¹ And destruction shall come upon you, and you shall not be aware; there shall be a pit, and you shall fall into it; and grief shall come upon you, and you shall not be able to be clear; and destruction shall come suddenly upon you, and you shall not know. ¹² Stand now with your enchantments, and with the abundance of your sorcery, which you have learned from your youth; if you can be profited. ¹³ You are wearied in your counsels. Let now the astrologers of the heaven stand and deliver you, let them that see the stars tell you what is about to come upon you.

²⁸ And where are your gods which you have made for yourself? Will they arise and save you in the time of your affliction? For according to the number of your cities were your gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem they sacrificed to Baal.

¹⁷ For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very thing I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be proclaimed in all the earth."

³³ Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and untraceable are His ways! ³⁴ "For who has known the mind of the LORD? Or who has been His counselor?"

²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

¹⁷ I will point to Him, but not now; I bless Him, but He draws not near: a Star shall arise out of Jacob, a Man shall spring forth out of Israel; and shall crush the princes of Moab, and shall spoil all the sons of Seth.

³⁸ And Saul said, Bring here all the chiefs of Israel, and know and see by whom this sin has been committed this day.

¹¹ And the princes of Tanis shall be fools; as for the king's wise counselors, their counsel shall be turned into folly; how will you say to the king, we are sons of wise men, sons of ancient kings?

¹⁶ Also the children of Memphis and Tahpanhes have known you, and mocked you.

¹⁴ Proclaim it at Migdol, and declare it at Memphis. Say, Stand up, and prepare; for the sword has devoured your yew tree.

¹⁹ O daughter of Egypt dwelling at home, prepare for yourselves stuff for removing: for Memphis shall be utterly desolate, and shall be called Woe, because there are no inhabitants in it.

¹⁶ And I will send fire upon Egypt; and Syene shall be greatly troubled; and there shall be a breaking in Noph, and waters shall be poured out.

⁴ And from Him he looked, and from Him He set the battle in order, and from Him came the bow in anger, and from Him shall come forth every oppressor together.

²² Professing to be wise, they became fools,

⁷ Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,"

²⁰ And the Lord said, Who will deceive Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall in Ramoth Gilead? And one spoke one way, and another spoke another way. ²¹ And there came forth a spirit and stood before the Lord, and said, I will deceive him. ²² And the Lord said to him, In what way? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, You shall deceive him; yea, and you shall prevail: go forth, and do so. ²³ And now, behold, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil against you.

¹⁶ With Him are strength and power: He has knowledge and understanding.

²⁵ Let them grope in darkness, and let there be no light, and let them wander as a drunken man.

⁷ For these have trespassed through wine; they have erred through strong drink; the priest and the prophet are mad through strong drink, they are swallowed up by reason of wine, they have staggered through drunkenness; they have erred; this is their vision. ⁸ A curse shall devour this counsel, for this is their counsel for the sake of covetousness.

⁹ Faint, and be amazed, and be overpowered, not with strong drink, nor with wine. ¹⁰ For the Lord has made you to drink a spirit of deep sleep; and He shall close their eyes, and the eyes of their prophets and of their rulers, who see secret things.

¹⁰ for your trusting in wickedness; for you said, I am, and there is not another; know therefore the understanding of these things and your harlotry shall be your shame; for you said in your heart, I am, and there is not another. ¹¹ And destruction shall come upon you, and you shall not be aware; there shall be a pit, and you shall fall into it; and grief shall come upon you, and you shall not be able to be clear; and destruction shall come suddenly upon you, and you shall not know.

¹⁵ Thus said the Lord God of Israel: Take the cup of this unmixed wine from My hand, and you shall cause all the nations to drink, to whom I send you. ¹⁶ And they shall drink, and vomit, and be mad, because of the sword which I send among them.

²⁷ And you shall say to them, Thus said the Lord Almighty: Drink, and be drunk; and you shall vomit and fall, and shall by no means rise, because of the sword which I send among you.

²⁶ Make him drunk; for he has magnified himself against the Lord. And Moab shall clap with his hand, and shall be also himself a laughing stock.

⁷ For any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who shall separate himself from Me, and conceive his imaginations in his heart, and set before his face the punishment of his iniquity, and come to the prophet to inquire of him concerning Me; I the Lord will answer him, according to the things in which he is entangled. ⁸ And I will set My face against that man, and will make him desolate and ruined, and will cut him off from the midst of My people; and you shall know that I am the Lord. ⁹ And if a prophet should cause to err and should speak, I the Lord have caused that prophet to err, and I will stretch out My hand upon him, and will utterly destroy him from the midst of My people Israel.

¹⁷ Then Jesus answered and said, "O unfaithful and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me."

¹¹ And because of this, God will send them strong delusion, in order for them to believe the lie,

² You shall eat the labors of your hands. Blessed are you, and it shall be well with you.

²³ With everyone who is careful there is abundance, but the pleasure-taking and indolent shall be in want.

¹⁴ So the Lord took away from Israel the head and tail, great and small, in one day; ¹⁵ the old man, and them that respect persons, this is the head; and the prophet teaching unlawful things, he is the tail.

¹⁷ For though the fig tree shall bear no fruit, and there shall be no produce on the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall produce no food: the sheep have failed from the pasture, and there are no oxen at the cribs;

¹¹ And I will bring a sword upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the grain, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, and all that the earth produces, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon all the labors of their hands.

¹¹ and that you aspire to be quiet, and to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, just as we commanded you, ¹² in order that you may walk decently toward those outside, and may have need of nothing.

⁶ Trembling took hold of them; there were the pangs as of a woman in travail.

³² Exhort them today to remain in the way; exhort, beckoning the mountain with your hand, the daughter of Zion, even you hills that are in Jerusalem.

¹⁵ And the Lord shall make desolate the sea of Egypt; and He shall lay His hand on the river with a strong wind, and He shall smite the seven channels, so that men shall pass through it dry-shod.

¹⁷ A thousand shall flee because of the voice of one, and many shall flee on account of the voice of five; until you are left as a signal-post upon a mountain, and as one bearing an ensign upon a hill.

³⁰ And the Lord shall make His glorious voice to be heard, and the wrath of His outstretched arm, to make a display with wrath and anger and devouring flame; He shall lighten terribly, and His wrath shall be as water and violent hail. ³¹ For by the voice of the Lord the Assyrians shall be overcome, even by the stroke in which He shall smite them. ³² And it shall happen to him from every side, that they from whom their hope of assistance was, in which he trusted, themselves shall war against Him in turn with drums and with harps.

⁵ Thus said the Lord: You shall hear a sound of fear — fear, and not peace. ⁶ Ask, and see if a male has ever born a child? And ask concerning the fear, why they shall hold their loins, and look for safety; for I have seen every man, and his hands are on his loins; their faces are turned to paleness. ⁷ For that day is great, and there is none like it; and it is a time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

³⁷ A sword upon their warriors and upon the mixed people in the midst of her; and they shall be as women. A sword upon the treasures, and they shall be scattered upon her water,

³⁰ The warrior of Babylon has failed to fight; they shall sit there in the siege. Their power is broken; they have become like women; her tabernacles have been set on fire; her bars are broken.

¹³ Behold, your people within you are as women: the gates of your land shall surely be opened to your enemies: the fire shall devour your bars.

⁹ For behold, I bring My hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to them that serve them: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent Me.

³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God!

²⁶ This is the purpose which the Lord has purposed upon the whole earth; and this the hand that is uplifted against all the nations. ²⁷ For what the Holy God has purposed, who shall frustrate? And who shall turn back His uplifted hand?

² then the Lord spoke to Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and take the sackcloth off your loins, and loose your sandals from off your feet, and do thus, going naked and barefoot. ³ And the Lord said, As My servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years, there shall be three years for signs and wonders to the Egyptians and Ethiopians; ⁴ for thus shall the king of the Assyrians lead the captivity of Egypt and the Ethiopians, young men and old, naked and barefoot, having the shame of Egypt exposed. ⁵ And the Egyptians, being defeated, shall be ashamed of the Ethiopians, in whom they had trusted; for they were their glory.

¹ Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of the reign of Hezekiah, that Sennacherib, king of the Assyrians, came up against the strong cities of Judah, and took them.

¹⁰ declaring beforehand the latter events before they come to pass, and they are accomplished together; and I said, all My counsel shall stand, and I will do all things that I have planned; ¹¹ calling a bird from the east, and from a land afar off, for the things which I have planned; I have spoken, and brought him; I have created and made him; I have brought him, and prospered his way.

²⁷ And you shall say to them, Thus said the Lord Almighty: Drink, and be drunk; and you shall vomit and fall, and shall by no means rise, because of the sword which I send among you. ²⁸ And it shall come to pass, when they refuse to take the cup out of your hand, to drink it, that you shall say, Thus said the Lord; You shall surely drink. ²⁹ For I am beginning to afflict the city which is called by My name, and you shall by no means be held guiltless: for I am calling a sword upon all that dwell upon the earth. ³⁰ And you shall prophesy against them these words, and shall say: The Lord shall speak from on high, from His sanctuary He will utter His voice. He will pronounce a declaration on His place; and these shall answer like men gathering grapes. And destruction is coming on them that dwell on the earth, ³¹ even upon the extreme part of the earth; for the Lord has a controversy with the nations, He is pleading with all flesh, and the ungodly are given to the sword, says the Lord.

²⁸ And they that escape the sword shall return to the land of Judah few in number, and the remnant of Judah, who have continued in the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose word shall stand.

⁶ And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because you have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. ⁷ When they took hold of you with their hand, you broke them; and when every hand was clapped against them, and when they leaned on you, you utterly broke them, and crushed the loins of them all.

³⁵ All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and He does according to His will in the host of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is none who shall withstand His power, and say to Him, What have You done?

¹ And all the earth had one language, and one speech.

²⁰ You shall fear the Lord your God, and serve Him, and shall cleave to Him, and shall swear by His name.

²⁹ were urgent with their brothers, and bound them under a curse, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in the law of God, which was given by the hand of Moses, the servant of God; to keep and to do all the commandments of the Lord, and His judgments, and His ordinances.

³¹ Ambassadors shall arrive out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall hasten to stretch out her hand readily to God.

¹¹ For the eyes of the Lord are high, but man is low; and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

¹¹ And it shall be in that day, that the Lord shall again show His hand, to be zealous for the remnant that is left of the people, which shall be left by the Assyrians, and that from Egypt, and from the country of Babylon, and from Ethiopia, and from the Elamites, and from the rising of the sun, and out of Arabia.

¹⁹ In that day there shall be an altar to the Lord in the land of the Egyptians, and a pillar to the Lord by its border.

²¹ And the Lord shall be known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day; and they shall offer sacrifices, and shall vow vows to the Lord, and pay them.

¹³ And it shall come to pass in that day that they shall blow the great trumpet, and the lost ones in the land of the Assyrians shall come, and the lost ones in Egypt, and shall worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.

²³ By Myself I swear, righteousness shall surely proceed out of My mouth; My words shall not be frustrated; that to Me every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall swear by God, ²⁴ saying, Righteousness and glory shall come to Him; and all that remove them from their borders shall be ashamed.

¹⁶ And it shall be, if they will indeed learn the way of My people, to swear by My name, saying, The Lord lives; as they taught My people to swear by Baal; then shall that nation be built in the midst of My people.

⁹ For then will I turn to the peoples a tongue for her generation, that all may call on the name of the Lord, to serve Him under one yoke.

¹¹ And many nations shall flee for refuge to the Lord in that day, and they shall be for a people to Him, and they shall dwell in the midst of you; and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent Me to you.

⁷ Then the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him, I will give this land to your seed. And Abram built an altar there to the Lord who appeared to him.

¹⁸ And Jacob rose up in the morning, and took the stone he had laid there by his head, and he set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.

⁴ And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and set up twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel.

¹⁰ And they came to Gilead of the Jordan, which is in the land of Canaan. And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an alter by the Jordan, a great altar to look at.

²⁶ And we gave orders to do thus, to build this altar, not for burnt offerings, nor for meat offerings;

²³ And it shall come to pass from month to month, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, that all flesh shall come to worship before Me in Jerusalem, says the Lord.

¹⁵ And they that are far from them shall come and build in the house of the Lord, and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent Me to you: and this shall come to pass, if you will diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God.

¹⁰ We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.

²³ And in those days after a length of time, the king of Egypt died. And the children of Israel groaned because of their tasks, and cried, and their cry because of their tasks went up to God.

⁷ And the Lord said to Moses, I have surely seen the affliction of My people that is in Egypt, and I have heard their cry caused by their taskmasters; for I know their affliction.

²⁰ And Joshua set these twelve stones which he took out of the Jordan, in Gilgal, ²¹ saying, When your sons ask you, saying, What are these stones?

²⁷ but that this may be a witness between you and us, and between our posterity after us, that we may do service to the Lord before Him, with our burnt offerings and our meat offerings and our peace offerings: so your sons shall not say to our sons, hereafter, You have no portion in the Lord. ²⁸ And we said, If ever it should come to pass that they should speak so to us, or to our posterity hereafter; then shall they say, Behold the likeness of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for the sake of burnt offerings, nor for the sake of meat offerings, but it is a witness between you and us, and between our sons.

³⁴ And Joshua gave a name to the altar of the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh; and said, It is a testimony in the midst of them, that the Lord is their God.

²⁶ And he wrote these words in the Book of the Laws of God. And Joshua took a great stone, and set it up under the oak before the Lord. ²⁷ And Joshua said to the people, Behold, this stone shall be among you for a witness, for it has heard all the words that have been spoken to it by the Lord; for He has spoken to you this day; and this stone shall be among you for a witness in the last days, whenever you shall deal falsely with the Lord my God.

⁴ And Jehoahaz pleaded with the Lord, and the Lord hearkened to him, for He saw the affliction of Israel, because the king of Syria afflicted them. ⁵ And the Lord gave deliverance to Israel, and they escaped from under the hand of Syria. And the children of Israel dwelt in their tents as before.

¹⁵ And call upon Me in the day of affliction; and I shall deliver you, and you shall glorify Me. Pause.

⁴ And I will deliver Egypt into the hands of men, of cruel masters; and cruel kings shall rule over them; thus says the Lord of hosts.

³⁶ And the angel of the Lord went forth, and killed out of the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand; and they arose in the morning and found all these bodies dead.

²¹ If they will declare, let them draw near, that they may know together, who has caused these things to be heard from the beginning; then was it told you. I am God, and there is not another beside Me; a just God and a Savior; there is none besides Me. ²² Turn to Me, and you shall be saved, you that come from the end of the earth; I am God, and there is none other.

²⁵ For thus says the Lord, If one should take a giant captive, he shall take spoils, and he who takes them from a mighty man shall be delivered; for I will plead your cause, and I will deliver your children. ²⁶ And they that afflicted you shall eat their own flesh; and they shall drink their own blood as new wine, and shall be drunk; and all flesh shall perceive that I am the Lord that delivers you, and that upholds the strength of Jacob.

⁵ And now why are you here? Thus says the Lord: Because My people were taken for nothing, wonder and howl. Thus says the Lord: On account of you My name is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles.

¹³ And instead of the bramble shall come up the cypress, and instead of the nettle shall come up the myrtle; and the Lord shall be for a name, and for an everlasting sign, and shall not fail.

¹¹ For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

¹³ looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

⁴ Indeed, the wages of the laborers who reaped your fields, which were kept back by you, cry out, and the cries of the reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of Hosts.

⁴⁶ And the Lord shall deliver you this day into my hand, and I will kill you, and take away your head from off of you, and I will give your limbs and the limbs of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and all the earth shall know that there is a God in Israel.

⁴³ then shall You hear them from heaven, out of Your established dwelling place, and You shall do according to all that the stranger shall call upon You for, that all the nations may know Your name, and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and may know that Your name has been called on this house which I have built.

² That men may know Your way on the earth, Your salvation among all nations.

² The Lord has made known His salvation, He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations. ³ He has remembered His mercy to Jacob, and His truth to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

⁴ Whenever you shall vow a vow to God, defer not to pay it; for He has no pleasure in fools. Pay, therefore, whatsoever you have vowed.

⁹ And they shall not be hurt, nor shall they be able to destroy anyone on My holy mountain; for the whole world is filled with the knowledge of the Lord, as much water covers the seas.

²⁰ But now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hands, that every kingdom of the earth may know that You alone are God.

⁵ One shall say, I am God's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall write with his hand, I am God's, and shall call himself by the name of Israel.

⁵ Nations which know you not shall call upon you, and peoples which are not acquainted with you shall flee to you for refuge, for the sake of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel; for He has glorified you.

⁷ I will bring them to My holy mountain, and gladden them in My house of prayer; their whole burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon My altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations,

¹⁶ And the men feared the Lord very greatly, and offered a sacrifice to the Lord, and vowed vows.

¹⁴ For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord; it shall cover them as water.

¹⁰ From the boundaries of the rivers of Ethiopia will I receive My dispersed ones; they shall offer sacrifices to Me.

¹⁶ And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall be left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem, shall come up every year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. ¹⁷ And it shall come to pass, that whichever of all the families of the earth shall not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, even these shall be added to the others. ¹⁸ And if the family of Egypt shall not go up, nor come; then upon them shall be the plague with which the Lord shall smite all the nations, whichever of them shall not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

¹¹ For from the rising of the sun, even to the going down thereof, My name has been glorified among the Gentiles; and in every place incense is offered to My name, and a pure offering: for My name is great among the Gentiles, says the Lord Almighty.

²¹ Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. ²² You worship what you do not know; we Jews worship what we know, because salvation is of the Jews. ²³ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. ²⁴ God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

³ And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

²⁷ For they thought it good, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles shared in spiritual things, they are obligated also to minister to them in material things. ²⁸ Therefore, having finished and having sealed to them this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain.

⁸ But at one time indeed, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature were not gods. ⁹ But now, having known God, or rather, having been known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which once again you wish to be slaves?

⁵ you also, as living stones, are being built into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

⁹ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellent virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

³⁹ Behold I, even I, am He, and there is no God beside Me: I kill, and I will make to live: I will smite, and I will heal; and there is none who shall deliver out of My hands.

¹⁸ for He causes a man to be in pain, and restores him again: He smites, and His hands heal.

¹⁰ For the heart of this people has become dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

¹ The vision of Egypt. Behold, the Lord sits on a swift cloud, and shall come to Egypt. And the idols of Egypt shall be moved at His presence, and their hearts shall faint within them. ² And the Egyptians shall be stirred up against the Egyptians; and a man shall fight against his brother, and a man against his neighbor, city against city, and law against law. ³ And the spirit of the Egyptians shall be troubled within them; and I will frustrate their counsel; and they shall inquire of their gods and their images, and them that speak out of the earth, and them that have in them a divining spirit. ⁴ And I will deliver Egypt into the hands of men, of cruel masters; and cruel kings shall rule over them; thus says the Lord of hosts. ⁵ And the Egyptians shall drink the water that is by the sea, but the river shall fail, and be dried up. ⁶ And the streams shall fail, and the canals of the river; and every reservoir of water shall be dried up, in every marsh also of reed and papyrus. ⁷ And all the green herbs round about the river, and everything sown by the side of the river, shall be blasted with the wind and dried up. ⁸ And the fishermen shall groan, and all that cast a hook into the river shall groan; they also that cast nets, and the anglers shall mourn. ⁹ And shame shall come upon them that work fine flax, and them that make fine linen. ¹⁰ And they that work at them shall be in pain, and all that make beer shall be grieved, and be pained in their souls. ¹¹ And the princes of Tanis shall be fools; as for the king's wise counselors, their counsel shall be turned into folly; how will you say to the king, we are sons of wise men, sons of ancient kings? ¹² Where are your wise men now? And let them declare to you, and say, What has the Lord of hosts purposed upon Egypt? ¹³ The princes of Tanis have failed, and the princes of Memphis are lifted up with pride, and they shall cause Egypt to wander by tribes. ¹⁴ For the Lord has prepared for them a spirit of error, and they have caused Egypt to err in all their works, as one staggers who is drunken and vomits also. ¹⁵ And there shall be no work to the Egyptians, which shall make head or tail, or beginning or end.

¹⁴ Thus says the Lord of hosts, Egypt has labored for you; and the merchandise of the Ethiopians, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall pass over to you, and shall be your servants; and they shall follow after you bound in fetters, and shall pass over to you, and shall bow down to you, and make supplication to you; because God is in you; and there is no God beside You, O Lord.

⁷ let the ungodly leave his ways, and the transgressor his counsels; and let him return to the Lord, and he shall find mercy; for He shall abundantly pardon your sins.

¹⁵ I will go and return to My place, until they are brought to nought, and then shall they seek My face.

² After two days He will heal us: in the third day we shall arise, and live before Him, and shall know Him.

¹ Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God; for the people have fallen through your iniquities.
