The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 19:18-22

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

THE TURNING OF EGYPT TO JEHOVAH. The chastisement of the Egyptians shall be followed, after a while, by a great change. Influences from Canaan shall penetrate Egypt (Isaiah 19:18), an altar shall be raised in her midst to Jehovah (Isaiah 19:19), and she herself shall cry to him for succor (Isaiah 19:20) and be delivered (Isaiah 19:20).

Egypt shall even become a part of Jehovah's kingdom, shall "know him," and serve him with sacrifice and oblation (Isaiah 19:21), and perform her vows to Jehovah, and have her supplications heard by him, and be converted and healed (Isaiah 19:22).
