1 An oracle of Egypt: Look! Yahweh is riding on a swift cloud and is coming to Egypt. And the idols of Egypt will tremble in front of him, and the heart of Egypt melts in his inner parts.
2 “And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians, and each one will fight against his brother and each one against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
3 And the spirit of the Egyptians will be disturbed in his midst, and I will confuse his plans, and they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead, and the ghosts and the spiritists.
4 And I will hand over the Egyptians into the hand of a hard master, and a powerful king will rule over them,” declares the Lord Yahweh of hosts.
5 And the waters will be dried up from the sea, and the river will be parched and dry.
