17 The land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt. Everyone to whom mention is made of it will be afraid, because of the plans of the Lord of Hosts, which he determines against it.
18 In that day, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the Lord of Hosts. One will be called “The city of destruction.”
19 In that day, there will be an altar to the Lord in the middle of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border.
20 It will be for a sign and for a witness to the Lord of Hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the Lord because of oppressors, and he will send them a savior and a defender, and he will deliver them.
21 The Lord will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the Lord in that day. Yes, they will worship with sacrifice and offering, and will vow a vow to the Lord, and will perform it.
22 The Lord will strike Egypt, striking and healing. They will return to the Lord, and he will be entreated by them, and will heal them.
23 In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
