Isaiah 19:19-25

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ On that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the land of Egypt, and a sacred pillar to the Lord at its border. ²⁰ It will serve as a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the Lord for his help against their oppressors, he will send them a savior to defend and deliver them. ²¹ The Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians will acknowledge the Lord on that day. They will offer sacrifices and oblations, and they will make vows to the Lord and fulfill them. ²² The Lord will strike Egypt severely, but he will then bring them healing. After that they will return to the Lord, and he will listen to their prayers and heal them.

²³ On that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will enter Egypt, and the Egyptians will enter Assyria, and Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together.

²⁴ On that day Israel will be a member of a triumvirate with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing at the center of the world, ²⁵ and the Lord of hosts will bless them with these words: “Blessed be my people Egypt, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my heritage.”
