1. Ésaïe 19:16 (NEG79)
  2. Explication du texte

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

Ésaïe 19:16 (NEG79)

16 En ce jour, l'Egypte sera comme des femmes: Elle tremblera et aura peur, En voyant s'agiter la main de l'Eternel des armées, Quand il la lèvera contre elle.

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.
