Oracle of Judgment on Egypt

19 An oracle of Egypt:

Look! Yahweh is riding on a swift cloud
    and is coming to Egypt.
And the idols of Egypt will tremble in front of him,
    and the heart of Egypt melts in his inner parts.
“And I will stir up Egyptians[a] against Egyptians,[b]
    and each one will fight against his brother
and each one against his neighbor,
    city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
And the spirit of the Egyptians[c] will be disturbed in his midst,
    and I will confuse[d] his plans,[e]
and they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead,
    and the ghosts and the spiritists.
