19 On that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the center of the land of Egypt and a pillar to the Lord near her border.(A) 20 It will be a sign and witness to the Lord of Hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the Lord because of their oppressors, He will send them a savior and leader, and he will rescue them.(B)
