18:3

All ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the world
<08398>_,

and dwellers
<07931> (8802)

on the earth
<0776>_,

see
<07200> (8799)

ye, when he lifteth up
<05375> (8800)

an ensign
<05251>

on the mountains
<02022>_;

and when he bloweth
<08628> (8800)

a trumpet
<07782>_,

hear
<08085> (8799)

ye.

18:4

For so
<03541>

the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto me, I will take my rest
<08252> (8799)_,

and I will consider
<05027> (8686)

in my dwelling place
<04349>

like a clear
<06703>

heat
<02527>

upon herbs
<0216>_,

[and] like a cloud
<05645>

of dew
<02919>

in the heat
<02527>

of harvest
<07105>_.

{consider...: or, regard my set dwelling} {upon...: or, after rain}

18:5

For afore
<06440>

the harvest
<07105>_,

when the bud
<06525>

is perfect
<08552> (8800)_,

and the sour grape
<01155>

is ripening
<01580> (8802)

in the flower
<05328>_,

he shall both cut off
<03772> (8804)

the sprigs
<02150>

with pruning hooks
<04211>_,

and take away
<05493> (8689)

[and] cut down
<08456> (8689)

the branches
<05189>_.

18:6

They shall be left
<05800> (8735)

together
<03162>

unto the fowls
<05861>

of the mountains
<02022>_,

and to the beasts
<0929>

of the earth
<0776>_:

and the fowls
<05861>

shall summer
<06972> (8804)

upon them, and all the beasts
<0929>

of the earth
<0776>

shall winter
<02778> (8799)

upon them.

18:7

In that time
<06256>

shall the present
<07862>

be brought
<02986> (8714)

unto the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

of a people
<05971>

scattered
<04900> (8794)

and peeled
<04178> (8794)_,

and from a people
<05971>

terrible
<03372> (8737)

from their beginning hitherto
<01973>_;

a nation
<01471>

meted out
<06978>

and trodden under foot
<04001>_,

whose land
<0776>

the rivers
<05104>

have spoiled
<0958> (8804)_,

to the place
<04725>

of the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the mount
<02022>

Zion
<06726>_.

{scattered...: or, outspread and polished}

19:1

The burden
<04853>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

Behold, the LORD
<03068>

rideth
<07392> (8802)

upon a swift
<07031>

cloud
<05645>_,

and shall come
<0935> (8804)

into Egypt
<04714>_:

and the idols
<0457>

of Egypt
<04714>

shall be moved
<05128> (8804)

at his presence
<06440>_,

and the heart
<03824>

of Egypt
<04714>

shall melt
<04549> (8735)

in the midst
<07130>

of it.

19:2

And I will set
<05526> (8773)

the Egyptians
<04714>

against the Egyptians
<04714>_:

and they shall fight
<03898> (8738)

every one
<0376>

against his brother
<0251>_,

and every one
<0376>

against his neighbour
<07453>_;

city
<05892>

against city
<05892>_,

[and] kingdom
<04467>

against kingdom
<04467>_.

{set: Heb. mingle}

19:3

And the spirit
<07307>

of Egypt
<04714>

shall fail
<01238> (8738)

in the midst
<07130>

thereof; and I will destroy
<01104> (8762)

the counsel
<06098>

thereof: and they shall seek
<01875> (8804)

to the idols
<0457>_,

and to the charmers
<0328>_,

and to them that have familiar spirits
<0178>_,

and to the wizards
<03049>_.

{fail: Heb. be emptied} {destroy: Heb. swallow up}

19:4

And
<0853>

the Egyptians
<04714>

will I give over
<05534> (8765)

into the hand
<03027>

of a cruel
<07186>

lord
<0113>_;

and a fierce
<05794>

king
<04428>

shall rule
<04910> (8799)

over them, saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0113>_,

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

{give...: or, shut up}

19:5

And the waters
<04325>

shall fail
<05405> (8738)

from the sea
<03220>_,

and the river
<05104>

shall be wasted
<02717> (8799)

and dried up
<03001> (8804)_.

19:6

And they shall turn
<02186> (0)

the rivers
<05104>

far away
<02186> (8689)_;

[and] the brooks
<02975>

of defence
<04693>

shall be emptied
<01809> (8804)

and dried up
<02717> (8804)_:

the reeds
<07070>

and flags
<05488>

shall wither
<07060> (8804)_.

19:7

The paper reeds
<06169>

by the brooks
<02975>_,

by the mouth
<06310>

of the brooks
<02975>_,

and every thing sown
<04218>

by the brooks
<02975>_,

shall wither
<03001> (8799)_,

be driven away
<05086> (8738)_,

and be no [more]. {and be...: Heb. and shall not be}

19:8

The fishers
<01771>

also shall mourn
<0578> (8804)_,

and all they that cast
<07993> (8688)

angle
<02443>

into the brooks
<02975>

shall lament
<056> (8804)_,

and they that spread
<06566> (8802)

nets
<04365>

upon
<06440>

the waters
<04325>

shall languish
<0535> (8797)_.

19:9

Moreover they that work
<05647> (8802)

in fine
<08305>

flax
<06593>_,

and they that weave
<0707> (8802)

networks
<02355>_,

shall be confounded
<0954> (8804)_.

{networks: or, white works}

19:10

And they shall be broken
<01792> (8794)

in the purposes
<08356>

thereof, all that make
<06213> (8802)

sluices
<07938>

[and] ponds
<099>

for fish
<05315>_.

{purposes: Heb. foundations} {for fish: Heb. of living things}

19:11

Surely the princes
<08269>

of Zoan
<06814>

[are] fools
<0191>_,

the counsel
<06098>

of the wise
<02450>

counsellors
<03289> (8802)

of Pharaoh
<06547>

is become brutish
<01197> (8737)_:

how say
<0559> (8799)

ye unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,

I [am] the son
<01121>

of the wise
<02450>_,

the son
<01121>

of ancient
<06924>

kings
<04428>_?

19:12

Where
<0335>

[are] they? where
<0645>

[are] thy wise
<02450>

[men]? and let them tell
<05046> (8686)

thee now, and let them know
<03045> (8799)

what the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

hath purposed
<03289> (8804)

upon Egypt
<04714>_.

19:13

The princes
<08269>

of Zoan
<06814>

are become fools
<02973> (8738)_,

the princes
<08269>

of Noph
<05297>

are deceived
<05377> (8738)_;

they have also seduced
<08582> (8689)

Egypt
<04714>_,

[even they that are] the stay
<06438>

of the tribes
<07626>

thereof. {they that...: or, governors: Heb. corners}

19:14

The LORD
<03068>

hath mingled
<04537> (8804)

a perverse
<05773>

spirit
<07307>

in the midst
<07130>

thereof: and they have caused Egypt
<04714>

to err
<08582> (8689)

in every work
<04639>

thereof, as a drunken
<07910>

[man] staggereth
<08582> (8736)

in his vomit
<06892>_.

{a perverse...: Heb. a spirit of perversities}

19:15

Neither shall there be [any] work
<04639>

for Egypt
<04714>_,

which the head
<07218>

or tail
<02180>_,

branch
<03712>

or rush
<0100>_,

may do
<06213> (8799)_.

19:16

In that day
<03117>

shall Egypt
<04714>

be like unto women
<0802>_:

and it shall be afraid
<02729> (8804)

and fear
<06342> (8804)

because
<06440>

of the shaking
<08573>

of the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

which he shaketh
<05130> (8688)

over it.

19:17

And the land
<0127>

of Judah
<03063>

shall be a terror
<02283>

unto Egypt
<04714>_,

every one that maketh mention
<02142> (8686)

thereof shall be afraid
<06342> (8799)

in himself, because
<06440>

of the counsel
<06098>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

which he hath determined
<03289> (8802)

against it.
