Isaiah 19:16-18

Common English Bible

Bless God’s people

¹⁶ On that day, the Egyptians will be like women and will tremble with terror before the hand that the Lord of heavenly forces will raise against them. ¹⁷ Judah’s land will become what the Egyptians dread; whenever anyone mentions it, they will be terrified because of the plans that the Lord of heavenly forces is making against them.

¹⁸ On that day, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan and swear loyalty to the Lord of heavenly forces. One of them will be called “the city of the sun.”^[a]
