1. Isaiah 19:14 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

What exactly does it mean that the LORD has mingled within Egypt a spirit of confusion, and what is the result of this?

Isaiah 19:14 (ESV)

14 The LORD has mingled within her a spirit of confusion, and they will make Egypt stagger in all its deeds, as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.

The people would be made so confused by God that they would be like staggering drunkards. Some commentators think that the verse may even point to demonic possession.
