Isaiah 19:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible
16 At that time, the Egyptians will be weak, like women. They will shake with fear because the Lord Almighty is ready to punish them. 17 The people of Judah will frighten the Egyptians very much. If anyone says Judah's name, everyone who hears it will be afraid. They will be very afraid of the punishment that the Lord Almighty will bring to them.
18 At that time, five cities in Egypt will speak the language of Canaan.[a] The people in those cities will promise to obey the Lord Almighty. One of the cities will have the name ‘Sun City’.
