Isaiah 19:18-25
New International Version
Isaiah 19:18-25
New International Version
18 In that day(A) five cities(B) in Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance(C) to the Lord Almighty. One of them will be called the City of the Sun.[a](D)
19 In that day(E) there will be an altar(F) to the Lord in the heart of Egypt,(G) and a monument(H) to the Lord at its border. 20 It will be a sign and witness(I) to the Lord Almighty in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the Lord because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior(J) and defender, and he will rescue(K) them. 21 So the Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians, and in that day they will acknowledge(L) the Lord. They will worship(M) with sacrifices and grain offerings; they will make vows to the Lord and keep them.(N) 22 The Lord will strike(O) Egypt with a plague;(P) he will strike them and heal them. They will turn(Q) to the Lord, and he will respond to their pleas and heal(R) them.
23 In that day(S) there will be a highway(T) from Egypt to Assyria.(U) The Assyrians will go to Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship(V) together. 24 In that day(W) Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria,(X) a blessing[b](Y) on the earth. 25 The Lord Almighty will bless(Z) them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people,(AA) Assyria my handiwork,(AB) and Israel my inheritance.(AC)”

Isaiah 19:18-25
King James Version
18 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.
19 In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord.
20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
21 And the Lord shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the Lord, and perform it.
22 And the Lord shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the Lord, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.
23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:
25 Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
