以賽亞書 19 Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional) (CUVMPT)

預示埃及之禍亂

19 論埃及的默示。

看哪，耶和華乘駕快雲，臨到埃及。埃及的偶像在他面前戰兢，埃及人的心在裡面消化。 2 「我必激動埃及人攻擊埃及人，弟兄攻擊弟兄，鄰舍攻擊鄰舍，這城攻擊那城，這國攻擊那國。 3 埃及人的心神必在裡面耗盡，我必敗壞他們的謀略，他們必求問偶像和念咒的、交鬼的、行巫術的。 4 我必將埃及人交在殘忍主的手中，強暴王必轄制他們。」這是主萬軍之耶和華說的。

5 海中的水必絕盡，河也消沒乾涸。 6 江河要變臭，埃及的河水都必減少枯乾，葦子和蘆荻都必衰殘。 7 靠尼羅河旁的草田，並沿尼羅河所種的田，都必枯乾，莊稼被風吹去，歸於無有。 8 打魚的必哀哭，在尼羅河一切釣魚的必悲傷，在水上撒網的必都衰弱。 9 用梳好的麻造物的，和織白布的，都必羞愧。 10 國柱必被打碎，所有傭工的心必愁煩。

牧伯謀士盡為愚蒙

11 瑣安的首領極其愚昧，法老大有智慧的謀士所籌劃的成為愚謀。你們怎敢對法老說「我是智慧人的子孫，我是古王的後裔」？ 12 你的智慧人在哪裡呢？萬軍之耶和華向埃及所定的旨意，他們可以知道，可以告訴你吧！ 13 瑣安的首領都變為愚昧，挪弗的首領都受了迷惑，當埃及支派房角石的使埃及人走錯了路。 14 耶和華使乖謬的靈摻入埃及中間，首領使埃及一切所做的都有差錯，好像醉酒之人嘔吐的時候東倒西歪一樣。 15 埃及中，無論是頭與尾，棕枝與蘆葦，所做之工都不成就。
