1 The ^aburden against Egypt.
Behold, the Lord ^brides on a swift cloud,
And will come into Egypt;
^cThe idols of Egypt will¹ totter at His presence,
And the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst. ‡

2 “I will ^aset Egyptians against Egyptians;
Everyone will fight against his brother,
And everyone against his neighbor,
City against city, kingdom against kingdom. ‡

5 ^aThe waters will fail from the sea,
And the river will be wasted and dried up. ‡

6 The rivers will turn foul;
The brooks ^aof defense will be emptied and dried up;
The reeds and rushes will wither. ‡
