Proclamation Against Egypt

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

³The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst; I will destroy their counsel, And they will consult the idols and the charmers, The mediums and the sorcerers.

⁴And the Egyptians I will give Into the hand of a cruel master, And a fierce king will rule over them,” Says the Lord, the Lord of hosts.

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

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

⁷The papyrus reeds by the River, by the mouth of the River, And everything sown by the River, Will wither, be driven away, and be no more.

⁸The fishermen also will mourn; All those will lament who cast hooks into the River, And they will languish who spread nets on the waters.

⁹Moreover those who work in fine flax And those who weave fine fabric will be ashamed;

¹⁰And its foundations will be broken. All who make wages will be troubled of soul.
