The burden of Egypt: the word that the LORD comes to Egypt riding on a swift cloud

애굽에 관한 경고: 여호와께서 빠른 구름을 타고 애굽에 임하시리라는 말씀

Isaiah 19:1–15: the heading reads, “The burden of Egypt.” Then: “Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt will melt within it. I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians, and they will fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom. The spirit of the Egyptians will fail within them. I will destroy their counsel. They will seek the idols, the charmers, those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards. I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord. A fierce king will rule over them,” says the Lord, GOD of Armies. The text goes on, “The waters will fail from the sea, and the river will be wasted and become dry. The rivers will become foul. The streams of Egypt will be diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags will wither away. The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, will become dry, be driven away, and be no more. The fishermen will lament, and all those who fish in the Nile will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will languish. Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth, will be confounded. The pillars will be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire will be grieved in soul. The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid. How do you say to Pharaoh, ‘I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings’? Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you now; and let them know what the LORD of Armies has purposed concerning Egypt. The princes of Zoan have become fools. The princes of Memphis are deceived. They have caused Egypt to go astray, those who are the cornerstone of her tribes. The LORD has mixed a spirit of perverseness in the middle of her; and they have caused Egypt to go astray in all of its works, like a drunken man staggers in his vomit. Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which head or tail, palm branch or rush, may do.” The heading names no prophet. The Korean Revised Version speaks of the LORD in the third person at 19:2–4 (그가 애굽인을 격동하사; 그 도모는 그의 파하신바가 되리니; 그가 애굽인을 잔인한 군주의 손에 붙이시리니), where WEB reads “I will stir up”, “I will destroy” and “I will give over”; it names Egypt at 19:10 (애굽의 기둥이), where WEB reads “The pillars”, and reads 놉 at 19:13, where WEB reads “Memphis”.

    1The burden of Egypt. “Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt will melt within it.

    2I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians, and they will fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.

    3The spirit of the Egyptians will fail within them. I will destroy their counsel. They will seek the idols, the charmers, those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards.

    4I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord. A fierce king will rule over them,” says the Lord, GOD of Armies.

    5The waters will fail from the sea, and the river will be wasted and become dry.

    6The rivers will become foul. The streams of Egypt will be diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags will wither away.

    7The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.

    8The fishermen will lament, and all those who fish in the Nile will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will languish.

    9Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth, will be confounded.

    10The pillars will be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire will be grieved in soul.

    11The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings”?

    12Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you now; and let them know what the LORD of Armies has purposed concerning Egypt.

    13The princes of Zoan have become fools. The princes of Memphis are deceived. They have caused Egypt to go astray, those who are the cornerstone of her tribes.

    14The LORD has mixed a spirit of perverseness in the middle of her; and they have caused Egypt to go astray in all of its works, like a drunken man staggers in his vomit.

    15Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which head or tail, palm branch or rush, may do.
