19 An oracle concerning Egypt.
Behold, the Lord is riding on a swift cloud
and comes to Egypt;
and the idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence,
and the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them.

and they will fight, every man against his brother
and every man against his neighbor,
city against city, kingdom against kingdom;
