Egypt Struck and Healed · Isaiah 19

Open this scene in the reader →

18In that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt speaking the language of Canaan and swearing allegiance to the LORD of Armies. One of them will be called the City of Destruction.

19In that day there will be an altar to Yahweh in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to Yahweh beside its border.

20It will be for a sign and for a witness to Yahweh of Armies in the land of Egypt. For they will cry out to Yahweh because of oppressors, and he will send them a savior and champion, and he will deliver them.

21And Yahweh will make himself known to Egypt, and Egypt will know Yahweh in that day, and they will serve with sacrifice and offering, and they will vow vows to Yahweh and fulfill them.

22And Yahweh will strike Egypt, striking and healing; and they will return to Yahweh, and he will respond to their pleas and heal them.
