Isaiah 19:17-19
Contemporary English Version
17 They will be so terrified of Judah that they will be frightened by the very mention of its name. This will happen because of what the Lord All-Powerful is planning against Egypt.
The Lord Will Bless Egypt, Assyria, and Israel
18 The time is coming when Hebrew will be spoken in five Egyptian cities, and their people will become followers of the Lord. One of these cities will be called City of the Sun.[a]
19 In the heart of Egypt an altar will be set up for the Lord; at its border a shrine will be built to honor him.
