Isaiah 19:2

19:2 “I will provoke civil strife in Egypt, ¹ 

brothers will fight with each other,

as will neighbors,

cities, and kingdoms. ² 

Isaiah 19:14

19:14 The Lord has made them undiscerning; ³ 

they lead Egypt astray in all she does,

so that she is like a drunk sliding around in his own vomit. ⁴ 

[19:2]  ¹ tn Heb I will provoke Egypt against Egypt” (NAB similar).

[19:2]  ² tn Heb “and they will fight, a man against his brother, and a man against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.” Civil strife will extend all the way from the domestic level to the provincial arena.

[19:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “like the going astray of a drunkard in his vomit.”
