2 And I will [a]stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom. 3 And the spirit of Egypt shall [b]fail in the midst of it; and I will [c]destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek unto the idols, and to the [d]charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards. 4 And I will [e]give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

New King James Version
2 “I will (A)set Egyptians against Egyptians;
Everyone will fight against his brother,
And everyone against his neighbor,
City against city, kingdom against kingdom.
3 The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst;
I will destroy their counsel,
And they will (B)consult the idols and the charmers,
The mediums and the sorcerers.
4 And the Egyptians I will give
(C)Into the hand of a cruel master,
And a fierce king will rule over them,”
Says the Lord, the Lord of hosts.
