The burden of
Egypt .
Behold, Yahweh
rides on a swift cloud ,
and
comes
to Egypt :
and
the idols of Egypt shall
tremble at
his
presence;
and the heart
of Egypt
shall
melt
in
the midst
of
it
.
This
is
the burden against
Egypt :
Behold, the
LORD
rides on a swift cloud ;
He
is
coming
to Egypt .
The idols of Egypt will
tremble before
Him,
and the hearts
of the Egyptians
will
melt
within
them
.
I will stir
up
the
Egyptians
against the
Egyptians:
and
they
shall
fight everyone
against his
brother, and
everyone
against his
neighbor ;
city against city, [
and ]
kingdom against kingdom.

I will incite
Egyptian

fight against brother, neighbor

The spirit of Egypt
shall
fail
in
the midst
of
it;

it:
and
they shall
seek
to the
idols ,
and to
the charmers
, and
to those
who
have
familiar
spirits,
and to
the
wizards
.
Then
the spirit of the Egyptians
will
be
emptied
out
from
among
them,
and I will frustrate
their
plans,
so
that
they will
resort
to idols and spirits
of
the dead
, to mediums
and spiritists
.

and a fierce king will
rule over them, ”

of Hosts.

counsel
of
the
wisest
counselors of
Pharaoh
is
become

how do
you say to Pharaoh, I am the
son
of the wise, the
son of ancient
kings?
The princes of Zoan are mere
fools
; Pharaoh’s
wise
counselors give
senseless
advice.
How can
you say to Pharaoh, “
I am one
of the wise, a
son of eastern
kings ”
?
Where then
are your wise men? and
let them tell you now;
and let

know
