Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Isaiah 18
⁶ They will be left together for the mountain birds of prey And for the beasts of the earth; The birds of prey will summer on them, And all the beasts of the earth will winter on them.
⁷ In that time a present will be brought to the Lord of hosts From a people tall and smooth of skin, And from a people terrible from their beginning onward, A nation powerful and treading down, Whose land the rivers divide-- To the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, To Mount Zion.
Isaiah 19
¹ The burden against Egypt. Behold, the Lord rides on a swift cloud, And will come into Egypt; The idols of Egypt will totter at His presence, And the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.
² "I will set Egyptians against Egyptians; Everyone will fight against his brother, And everyone against his neighbor, City against city, kingdom against kingdom.
³ The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst; I will destroy their counsel, And they will consult the idols and the charmers, The mediums and the sorcerers.
⁴ And the Egyptians I will give Into the hand of a cruel master, And a fierce king will rule over them," Says the Lord, the Lord of hosts.
⁵ The waters will fail from the sea, And the river will be wasted and dried up.
⁶ The rivers will turn foul; The brooks of defense will be emptied and dried up; The reeds and rushes will wither.
⁷ The papyrus reeds by the River, by the mouth of the River, And everything sown by the River, Will wither, be driven away, and be no more.
⁸ The fishermen also will mourn; All those will lament who cast hooks into the River, And they will languish who spread nets on the waters.
⁹ Moreover those who work in fine flax And those who weave fine fabric will be ashamed;
