16 When that happens, the Mitsrim (Egyptians) will tremble like women, dreading Commander-in-chief Yahweh’s raised fist held against them. 17 Yehudah (Judah) (the land of Yehudah) will become an object of terror to Mitsrayim (Egypt). Whenever they’re reminded of Yehudah they’ll become afraid, because of what Commander-in-chief Yahweh is planning against them.

18 At that time, there’ll be five cities in Mitsrayim where they’ll speak out in Hebrew, and make oaths by Commander-in-chief Yahweh. (One of those cities will be called ‘the city of destruction’.)

19 At that time, there’ll be an altar to Yahweh in the middle of Mitsrayim, and a stone pillar to him on their shared border. 20 It’ll be for a sign in Mitsrayim and a witness to Commander-in-chief Yahweh, because when they’re oppressed and cry out to Yahweh for help, he’ll send a saviour and defender for them who will rescue them. 21 Then Yahweh will become known to Mitsrayim, and the Mitsrim will know Yahweh that day, and they’ll worship him with sacrifices and offerings, and they’ll make a commitment to Yahweh and then they’ll honour it. 22 Then Yahweh will strike Mitsrayim—striking then healing, and they’ll turn to Yahweh and he will take notice of their requests and will heal them.

23 At that time, there’ll be a highway from Mitsrayim to Ashur (Assyria), so Assyrians will go to Mitsrayim and Mitsrim will go to Ashur, and they’ll worship together. 24 Yisrael (Israel) will be the third in the group with Mitsrayim and Ashur—a blessing in the middle of the region 25 when Commander-in-chief Yahweh will bless them saying, “Blessed be my people Mitsrayim, and Ashur, the work of my hands, and Yisrael, my inheritance.”
