Isaiah 19:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 And the land of Judah shall be a fear [a]unto Egypt: everyone that maketh mention of it, shall be afraid thereat, because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he hath determined upon it.
18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt [b]speak the language of Canaan, and shall [c]swear by the Lord of hosts: one shall be called the city of [d]destruction.
19 In that day shall the altar of the Lord be in the midst of the land of Egypt, and [e]a pillar by the border thereof unto the Lord.
