Parallels

  • Matthew 24:7 (verbal): Jesus uses the same formulaic language—'nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom'—paralleling Isaiah's picture of internecine conflict (city/kingdom against city/kingdom).
  • Micah 7:6 (thematic): Describes intimate social breakdown—'a son dishonors his father... a man’s enemies are the members of his own household'—echoing the motif of brother/neighbor turning against one another.
  • Judges 12:1-6 (structural): Narrates civil conflict between Israelite tribes (Ephraim vs. Jephthah), an example of internal, intra‑national warfare comparable to 'Egypt against Egypt.'
  • Zechariah 14:2 (thematic): Foretells nations and cities arrayed against one another and against a central city—sharing the prophetic theme of widespread inter‑urban and inter‑kingdom conflict found in Isaiah 19:2.

Parallels

  • Isaiah 8:19 (verbal): Uses nearly identical wording about consulting those with familiar spirits, ‘seek unto them that have familiar spirits…wizards that peep,’ a close verbal parallel and thematic reinforcement.

Parallels

An oracle concerning Egypt. Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud and will come into Egypt; the idols of Egypt will tremble before him, and the heart of Egypt will melt within it.

I will set Egyptians against Egyptians—man against his brother, and man against his neighbor; city against city, kingdom against kingdom.

A panic will seize them within Egypt; the counsel of Egypt will fail. They will consult idols and the spirits of the dead, the mediums and the soothsayers. And I will give Egypt into the hand of a harsh master, and a fierce king will rule over them, declares the LORD of hosts.

The waters of the sea will be dried up, and the river will be wasted and shall dry up.

The canals will stink, the streams of the Nile will dwindle and dry; reed and rush will wither.

The fishermen will mourn, and all who cast a hook into the Nile will languish; and those who spread nets upon the waters will grieve.

Those who work with combed flax will be disappointed, and all the workers of fine linen will be ashamed.

The weavers will be confounded; the makers of nets and the spinners of white yarn will be put to shame.

Even the pillars of their strength will be crushed; all hired men will sigh and grieve.

Surely the princes of Zoan are fools; the princes of Noph are deceivers. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings”?

Have not your wise men declared it? Let them tell you now. Let them know what the LORD of hosts purposes against Egypt.

The princes of Zoan have become fools; the princes of Noph have led Egypt astray. They have made its turning about a thing of error.

The LORD has mixed within them a spirit of dizziness; they have led Egypt astray in every undertaking, as a drunken man reels when he vomits.

There will be no work for Egypt to do—head or tail, palm shoot or reed.

On that day Egypt will tremble and be in dread before the outstretched hand of the LORD of hosts, which he stretches out against it. And the land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt; everyone who is mentioned in it will be afraid because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts which he takes against it.

On that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called the City of Destruction.

On that day there will be an altar to the LORD within the land of Egypt, and a pillar at its border to the LORD.

It shall be a sign and a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the LORD because of oppressions, and he will send them a savior and a great one, and he will deliver them. And the LORD will make himself known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians will know the LORD on that day; they will worship with sacrifice and offering, and they will make vows to the LORD and perform them. And the LORD will strike Egypt; he will strike and heal them. They will return to the LORD, and he will be entreated by them and will heal them.

On that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt into Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.

On that day Israel will be a third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the land,

whom the LORD of hosts will bless, saying, “Blessed be my people Egypt, and the work of my hands Assyria, and my inheritance Israel.”
