Isaiah 19:22

Compare all

20 And ^ait will be for a sign and for a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the Lord because of the oppressors, and He will send them a ^bSavior and a Mighty One, and He will deliver them.

21 Then the Lord will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will ^aknow the Lord in that day, and ^bwill make sacrifice and offering; yes, they will make a vow to the Lord and perform it.

22 And the Lord will strike Egypt, He will strike and ^aheal it; they will return to the Lord, and He will be entreated by them and heal them.

23 In that day ^athere will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will ^bserve with the Assyrians.

24 In that day Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing in the midst of the land,

Barnes' Notes

<< Isaiah 19:21

Isaiah 19:23 >>

Isaiah 19:22

And the Lord shall smite Egypt - That is, in the manner described in the previous part of this prophecy Isaiah 19:2-10.

And heal it - Or restore it to more than its former splendor and prosperity, as described in the previous verses Isaiah 19:18-20. He shall send it a saviour; he shall open new sources of prosperity; and he shall cause the true religion to flourish there. These advantages would be more than a compensation for all the calamities that he would bring upon it.

And they shall return ... - These calamities shall be the means of their conversion to Yahweh.
