1 An oracle against Egypt: Look, the Lord rides on a swift cloud and is coming to Egypt.Egypt’s idols will tremble before Him, and Egypt’s heart will melt within it.
2 I will provoke Egypt against Egypt;each will fight against his brother and each against his friend,city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
3 Egypt’s spirit will be disturbed within it,and I will frustrate its plans.Then they will seek idols, ghosts,spirits of the dead, and spiritists.
4 I will deliver Egypt into the hands of harsh masters, and a strong king will rule it.This is the declaration of the Lord God of Hosts.
