1. Isaiah 19:16 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

How does the second part of Isaiah 19 differ from the first?

Isaiah 19:16 (ESV)

16 In that day the Egyptians will be like women, and tremble with fear before the hand that the LORD of hosts shakes over them.

The parallelism and poetic language of the first part is replaced by straightforward prose in which five visions of the future are presented. The second part gradually progresses from judgment to blessing, whereas the first only contains judgment.
