19:18 At that time five cities 2 in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the Lord who commands armies. One will be called the City of the Sun. 3 19:19 At that time there will be an altar for the Lord in the middle of the land of Egypt, as well as a sacred pillar 4 dedicated to the Lord at its border. 19:20 It 5 will become a visual reminder in the land of Egypt of 6 the Lord who commands armies. When they cry out to the Lord because of oppressors, he will send them a deliverer and defender 7 who will rescue them. 19:21 The Lord will reveal himself to the Egyptians, and they 8 will acknowledge the Lord’s authority 9 at that time. 10 They will present sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the Lord and fulfill them. 19:22 The Lord will strike Egypt, striking and then healing them. They will turn to the Lord and he will listen to their prayers 11 and heal them.
19:23 At that time there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will visit Egypt, and the Egyptians will visit Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together. 12 19:24 At that time Israel will be the third member of the group, along with Egypt and Assyria, and will be a recipient of blessing 13 in the earth. 14 19:25 The Lord who commands armies will pronounce a blessing over the earth, saying, 15 “Blessed be my people, Egypt, and the work of my hands, Assyria, and my special possession, 16 Israel!”
