Isaiah 19:17

15 Neither will there be any work for Egypt,
Which ^athe head or tail,
Palm branch or bulrush, may do.

16 In that day Egypt will ^abe like women, and will be afraid and fear because of the waving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, ^bwhich He waves over it.

17 And the land of Judah will be a terror to Egypt; everyone who makes mention of it will be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts which He has ^adetermined against it.

Egypt, Assyria, and Israel Blessed

18 In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will ^aspeak the language of Canaan and ^bswear by the Lord of hosts; one will be called the City of¹ Destruction.

19 In that day ^athere will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the ^bLord at its border.

<< Isaiah 19:16

Isaiah 19:18 >>

Isaiah 19:17

And the land of Judah - The threatening hand of God will be held out and shaken over Egypt, from the side of Judea; through which the Assyrians will march to invade it. It signifies that kind of terror that drives one to his wit' s end, that causes him to reel like a drunken man, to be giddy through astonishment. Such is the import of chag , and chagah . Five MSS. and two editions have lechagah .
