Isaiah 19:2

19:2 “I will provoke civil strife in Egypt,

brothers will fight with each other,

as will neighbors,

cities, and kingdoms.

Isaiah 19:14

19:14 The Lord has made them undiscerning;

they lead Egypt astray in all she does,

so that she is like a drunk sliding around in his own vomit.


tn Heb I will provoke Egypt against Egypt” (NAB similar).

tn Heb “and they will fight, a man against his brother, and a man against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.” Civil strife will extend all the way from the domestic level to the provincial arena.

tn Heb “the Lord has mixed into her midst a spirit of blindness.”

tn Heb “like the going astray of a drunkard in his vomit.”
