23:019:003 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the
midst thereof; and I
will
destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek
to the
idols,
and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar
spirits,
and to the wizards.
23:019:004 And the Egyptians will I give over into
the hand of a cruel
lord;
and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord,
the
lord of hosts.
23:019:005 And the waters shall fail from the sea,
and the river shall be
wasted
and dried up.
23:019:006 And they shall turn the rivers far away;
and the brooks of
defence
shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags
shall
wither.
23:019:007 The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth
of the brooks, and
every
thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away,
and
be no more.
23:019:008 The fishers also shall mourn, and all they
that cast angle
into
the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets
upon
the
waters shall languish.
23:019:009 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and
they that weave
networks,
shall be confounded.
23:019:010 And they shall be broken in the purposes
thereof, all that
make
sluices and ponds for fish.
23:019:011 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the
counsel of the wise
counsellors
of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto
Pharaoh,
I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
23:019:012 Where are they? where are thy wise men?
and let them tell thee
now,
and let them know what the lord of hosts hath
purposed
upon
Egypt.
23:019:013 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the
princes of Noph are
deceived;
they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the
stay
of the tribes thereof.
23:019:014 The lord hath mingled a perverse spirit
in the midst thereof:
and
they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof,
as a
drunken
man staggereth in his vomit.
23:019:015 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt,
which the head or
tail,
branch or rush, may do.
23:019:016 In that day shall Egypt be like unto women:
and it shall be
afraid
and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the
lord
of
hosts, which he shaketh over it.
23:019:017 And the land of Judah shall be a terror
unto Egypt, every one
that
maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself,
because
of the counsel of the lord of hosts, which he
hath
determined
against it.
23:019:018 In that day shall five cities in the land
of Egypt speak the
language
of Canaan, and swear to the lord of hosts; one
shall
be
called, The city of destruction.
