Isa 19:2-7 Every One Against His Brother, And Every One Against His Neighbor

Isa 19:2  And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
Isa 19:3  And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
Isa 19:4  And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.
Isa 19:5  And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
Isa 19:6  And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.
Isa 19:7  The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.

We will begin our study by repeating verse one from last week's study:

Isa 19:1  The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

Now we will begin to see how the Lord will begin moving the idols of Egypt and melting the hearts of the Egyptian in the midst of it, both within us first and then, in time, we will see these things all fulfilled outwardly in the world:

Isa 19:2  And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.

Let's read this verse together with verse one to get the full force of what we are being told:

Isa 19:1  The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
Isa 19:2  And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.

The inward application of what these verses are telling us is that when we begin to see the true Christ, at that very moment we also begin to see the conflict of "the Egyptian against the Egyptian... every one against his brother" which is inherent in the doctrines we all believed for so long. A good example of "Egyptians and the Egyptians" within our heavens was manifested in a church marquee which read: "God is love... sinners will burn in hell". That self-conflicting doctrine is to this day believed by millions of people who profess to be Christians.

"Every one against his neighbor" has a very clear outward fulfillment which tugs at the hearts of even God's very elect. As we witness the injustices of mankind against their brothers, it will take Christ within us to keep us aloof from "the affairs of this life" and keep us from being against our brother. We simply cannot stay aloof from the affairs of this life of ourselves, but we can do so through Christ who strengthens us:

Php 4:13  I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

2Ti 2:3  Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
2Ti 2:4  No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

We will first take a closer look to see how Isaiah 19:2, "Egyptian against Egyptian is fulfilled within the kingdom of God within us, where our old man's Babylonian kingdom with all of its Babylonian lies is being invaded by the fiery words of the truth of the doctrines of Christ. My own person experience of "Egyptians against the Egyptians" began in my early twenties and continued for many years as I struggled with the scriptures I was being given to see for the first time in my life.

I first began to realize the meaning of the Greek word 'aion' and the Hebrew word 'olawm' in 1973. There were no personal computers to be bought at a local store, and there was no e-sword or any other such helps to search out how those words were used in the scriptures. Inwardly "the Egyptians [fought] against the Egyptians" for many years before that conflict subsided and Christ began to reign over all those conflicting doctrines within me which I had never before seen as contradictions.

The kingdom of our first old man is typified by the firstborn son of Abraham with his bond maid who was later cast out and of whom we are told:

Gal 4:29  But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
Gal 4:30  Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.

We may find it hard to understand, but this "son of the bondwoman" is none other than our own first-born "old man", and as we continue to compare spiritual things with spiritual (1Co 2:3-14), we will see that he is described as "a wild man":

Gen 16:12  And he [Ishmael, Abraham's first born son by Hagar, his "bondwoman" wife] will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

Our old man "dwells in the presence of his brothers" inasmuch as he cohabits with Christ as an "earthen vessel". He is decreasing as Christ is increasing, and our old man is dying daily (1Co 15:31) simply because he is that "earthen vessel" in which Christ dwells at this time. We must all contend with the beast, that "earthen vessel" within, and we must do so on a daily basis:

2Co 4:7  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
2Co 4:8  We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
2Co 4:9  Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
2Co 4:10  Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

Notice carefully, "the dying of the Lord Jesus" and "the life also of Jesus" are both "manifest in our body".  "Christ in [us]" (Col 1:27) is dying daily to the pulls of His own flesh, meaning the flesh of each of us within these earthen vessels because:

Heb 4:15  For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

As shown already, inwardly "brother against brother" first speaks of the conflict of the lies of the Babylonian "spiritual... Egypt", the kingdom of our old man within us, conflicting with and warring with the Truth of the Words of Christ which comes as a fiery sword to destroy those lies "with the brightness of His coming" within us (2Th 2:3-8). It is this inward struggle that brings us all "to [our] wits' end" as we saw earlier in:

Psa 107:25  For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
Psa 107:26  They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
Psa 107:27  They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.

While Christianity and Islam will certainly have their part in the fulfillment of the work of this "wild man" in the outward fulfilling of the Lord "set[ting] the Egyptians against the Egyptians", it is nevertheless the spiritual beastly nature within every man which the Lord has always used and which He will continue to use to bring to pass this "every man's hand against his brother" prophecy of world-wide civil unrest, as these verses demonstrate:

Ecc 3:18  I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

Jdg 7:22  And the three hundred blew the trumpets [symbolizing the Lord's elect], and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath.

Isa 3:5. And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

1Sa 14:20  And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle [against the Philistines]: and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.

Jer 25:30  Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

Eze 38:20  So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
Eze 38:21  And I will call for a sword against him [Gog and Magog - vs 1-2] throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
Eze 38:22  And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
Eze 38:23  Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Hag 2:22  And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.

Zec 8:9  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.
Zec 8:10  For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.

Zec 14:13  And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

"Egyptian against Egyptian" will be accomplished "throughout all [of God's] mountains" (Eze 38:21), which has the same meaning as "...all the nations in the four quarters of the earth".

Rev 20:7  And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Rev 20:8  And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

The Lord tells us His words "shall not pass away":

Mat 24:32  Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Mat 24:33  So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Mat 24:34  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Mat 24:35  Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

So these words concerning Gog and Magog have both a present and a future application, as well as being applicable at the time these words were written, just as surely as Joseph's brothers physically bowed down to him in his lifetime. These words in Psalms are also addressed to "the kings of the earth", and they are addressed to all nations who "take counsel together against the Lord and against His anointed", whether in the days of King David, at the time of the crucifixion of Christ, or at the time of the "little season" of rebellion against the rulership of the Lord's elect following the thousand years of the reign of God's elect over the kingdoms of this world.

Psa 2:2  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Psa 2:3  Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
Psa 2:4  He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Psa 2:5  Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

Rev 20:1  And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
Rev 20:2  And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Rev 20:3  And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Here is the application of these words at the time of Christ's crucifixion:

Act 4:26  The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

All these words are first to be applied within each of those in whom Christ will take up His abode. Then these words will also have a pre-millennial application when the kings of this world will resist the installation of the thousand-year reign of the Lord's elect over the kingdoms of this world:

Rev 11:15  And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

Rev 19:19  And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

Then they will have a final outward application to the nations at the end of the "little season" of rebellion, which follows the thousand year reign of Christ:

Rev 20:7  And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Rev 20:8  And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Rev 20:9  And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
Rev 20:10  And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

The rest of our study details the destruction of Egypt within and without:

Isa 19:3  And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.

When any of us first hear the truths of Christ, those truths sound so incredibly radical that we reject them out of hand as utter heresy. It just does not seem possible that so many of the people we know, love and respect could all be that wrong, and besides we have read the Bible for ourselves, and we, in our spiritually blind state, have never seen this doctrine there in the Bible. So we all at first rebel against Christ, and this is what we are told God thinks about that mindset:

1Sa 15:23  For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

It is our old man who turns to the idols of our heart, and in doing so we become guilty of the sins of witchcraft and idolatry. At that time, we are comfortable with our bondage to the traditions of men. We like paying tithes on our gross income, and we dearly love keeping days, months, times and years, for just two examples.

The story of Elijah and the four hundred prophets of Baal is actually a type of what will become of all the false ministers who are this very day making merchandise of the Lord's flock. The Lord had delivered Israel into the hands of an apostate king who had married Jezebel, the daughter of a pagan Zidonian king (1Kg 16:31). Jezebel was intent upon destroying all the Lord's prophets and was making good on her intention, so Elijah, with Ahab's apparent consent, challenged them to a showdown. Our old man has a showdown with Christ written in his book, and all the nations of this world also must face a day of accounting for turning away from their Creator to idols of their own hearts.

See if you can see your own old man in the confidence these prophets of Baal had in the doctrines of their god:

1Ki 18:25  And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
1Ki 18:26  And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
1Ki 18:27  And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
1Ki 18:28  And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
1Ki 18:29  And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
1Ki 18:30  And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.
1Ki 18:31  And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:
1Ki 18:32  And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
1Ki 18:33  And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.
1Ki 18:34  And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.
1Ki 18:35  And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
1Ki 18:36  And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
1Ki 18:37  Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
1Ki 18:38  Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
1Ki 18:39  And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.
1Ki 18:40  And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.

It requires a miracle from God for any of us to come to Him. Paul's 'road to Damascus' conversion is not that different from any of ours, nor is it different from this story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal. We do not willingly come to God. Rather, He drags us to Himself (Joh 8:44, 65). In the same manner, it will require a miracle to strike the fear of God into the kingdoms of this world before they will give up their dominion over the Lord's elect. However, the Lord specializes in miracles, and His word is sure:

Isa 19:4  And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

Our old man is a cruel taskmaster who rules us with a rod of iron. It is because of how he abuses us that we are all brought to our wits' end and cry out for the Lord's mercy. In the same way the outward kings of this world think little of sacrificing the lives of the sons of other men and women to maintain their own power and pride, the Lord has also placed this whole world into the hands of the basest of men who are all "fierce kings" who will not hesitate to go to war and to "destroy the earth":

Rev 11:18  And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

There was a three and a half year drought at the time Elijah slew the four hundred prophets of Baal:

Luk 4:25  But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

The whole world is under just such a drought at this moment, but it is not a physical drought:

Amo 8:11  Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

We all live through the days when God truly does dry up the waters that nourish Babylon. At that time the ten horns upon the beast are burning the doctrines of the great whore with fire and are devouring her flesh:

Rev 16:12  And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
Rev 16:13  And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Rev 16:14  For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

When we come to see Babylon as 'spiritual Sodom and Egypt', then we will also see the drying up of the river of Egypt as the same thing as the drying up of the Euphrates. It is merely two ways of saying the same thing.

Rev 11:8  And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

The drying up of the waters of the river of Egypt and the drying up of the Euphrates River symbolize the rejection of the doctrines of Babylon and the doctrines of the religions of this world, which we honestly believe bring so much wealth to ourselves and to the coffers of the churches of this world. The Lord is at this very moment drying up the Euphrates and the Nile, and everything sown by the brooks of these rivers is beginning to wither away, 'to be driven away and to be no more'.

Isa 19:5  And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
Isa 19:6  And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.
Isa 19:7  The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.

This is what must happen to the kingdom of our old man and to Babylon within us, and it will happen just this way because:

Rev 17:15  And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Rev 17:16  And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
Rev 17:17  For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

It was the waters of the Euphrates by which the riches of the kingdoms of Babylon came into that city, and it was by the Nile that Egypt was made rich. Those are outward literal rivers and countries, but water also symbolizes the Word of God and the doctrines of Christ:

Joh 7:38  He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Eph 5:26  That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

As we have seen, when the water of the Word of God was taken from Israel, there was "a famine in the land".

Amo 8:11  Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

In the same manner, the revelation of Christ and His Truth within us and within this world will effect a famine of the lies and falsehoods of Babylon, and when that happens Babylon's source of nourishment and wealth will dry up and wither away.

Isa 19:6  And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.
Isa 19:7  The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.

King Cyrus turned the waters of the Euphrates and diverted them far north of Babylon. When the waters were no longer flowing through Babylon, his armies marched into the city through the empty channel which had been the Euphrates River and took the city without having to fight a battle. That is the outward fulfillment of the "drying up of the Euphrates". The spiritual fulfillment is coming in the form of the rejection of the doctrines of the Babylonian religions of this earth, and the eating of the flesh of that great whore and burning her with the fire of that rejection.

That is the deep darkness that comes just before the light of dawn. That is the great high waves which bring us and the kingdoms of this world to our wits' end just before we are brought to our haven of rest, and just before the kingdoms of this world are given into the merciful hands of the Lord's Christ.

Rev 11:15  And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

We have read a lot about how the Lord melts the hearts of the men of Egypt and the inhabitants of the promised land. Here are more verses which make that a personal experience and give us a much deeper understanding of what must take place within us before it can take place outwardly:

Psa 107:25  For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
Psa 107:26  They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
Psa 107:27  They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.
Psa 107:28  Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
Psa 107:29  He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
Psa 107:30  Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

It is He who "commands and raises the stormy wind", and it is also He, who at the time He has appointed for our good, will in the end 'makes the storm a calm and bring us into our desired haven of peace and safety' and "[His] rest" (Heb 4:1-5).

Isa 26:8  Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
Isa 26:9  With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

Next week, Lord willing, we will continue to see more of the kingdom of our old man and his fate, presented to us in the form of the drying up of the river of Egypt.

Isa 19:8  The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
Isa 19:9  Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.
Isa 19:10  And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.
Isa 19:11  Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
Isa 19:12  Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.
Isa 19:13  The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.
Isa 19:14  The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.
Isa 19:15  Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.
