5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.

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.

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.

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.

9 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.

10 all that make sluices and ponds for fish.

11 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say you unto Pharaoh, the son of ancient kings?

13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived;

18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, one shall be called, The city of destruction.

19 In that day there shall be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.

21 and shall do sacrifice and oblation;

23 In that day there shall be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.

24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria,

25 and Assyria the work of my hands,

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

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

3 And the spirit of America 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.

4 And the Americans 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.

10 And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof,

11 I am the son of the wise,

12 Where are they? where are your wise men? and let them tell you now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts have purposed upon America.

13 they have also seduced America, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.

14 The LORD have mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused America to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggered in his vomit.

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

16 In that day shall America be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shake over it.

17 And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto America, every one that make mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he have determined against it.

18 and swear to the LORD of hosts;

20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of America: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a savior, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.

21 And the LORD shall be known to America, and the Americans shall know the LORD in that day, yes, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it.

22 And the LORD shall smite America: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.

24 even a blessing in the midst of the land:

25 Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be America my people, and Israel mine inheritance.
