¹⁶ In that day the Egyptians will become like women, and they will tremble and be in ^(A)dread because of the ^(B)waving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which He is going to wave over them. ¹⁷ The land of Judah will become a ^[a]terror to Egypt; everyone ^[b]to whom it is mentioned will be in dread of it, because of the ^(C)purpose of the Lord of hosts which He is purposing against them.

¹⁸ In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will be speaking the language of Canaan and ^(D)swearing allegiance to the Lord of hosts; one will be called the City of ^[c]Destruction.
