Isaiah, 19
11. The leaders of Tanis are foolish. The wise counselors of Pharaoh have given foolish counsel. How can you say to Pharaoh: “I am the son of wisemen, the son of the kings of antiquity?”

Isaiah 19 talks about God's judgment prophecy about Egypt and the promise of redemption to the Egyptian people. In this chapter, the role that Egypt will play in the future plan of God for the world is also mentioned. Below are five verses related to the topics addressed in Isaiah 19:
Jeremiah 46:25: "The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, said, Behold, I will punish amom of no, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, together with their gods and kings; yes, I will punish Pharaoh, and to all who trust him. " This verse talks about the punishment that God will bring about Egypt and its gods, which is in line with the prophecy of Isaiah 19.
Ezekiel 29:13: "For thus says the Lord God, I will also make the multitude of Egypt cease by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon." This verse talks about the fall of Egypt in the hands of King Nebuchadnezzar, which can be seen as a realization of the prophecy of Isaiah 19.
Zechariah 10:11: "He will pass through the sea of distress, and wound the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the river will dry; and the superb of Assyria will be overthrown, and the Egyptian scepter will withdraw." This verse talks about the pride of Egypt and how its power will be broken by God.
Psalm 87:4: "I will mention Rahab and Babylon to those who know me; Behold, from philistia, and of shot, and from Ethiopia, this man was born there." This verse can be interpreted as a reference to the role that Egypt will have in the future plan of God, mentioned in Isaiah 19.
Revelation 11:8: "And their bodies in the Praça da Greater City that will be spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where your Lord was crucified." This verse talks about the city in which Jesus was crucified, which is compared to Sodom and Egypt. Although not directly related to the prophecy of Isaiah 19, it suggests that Egypt is seen as a symbol of corruption and oppression in the Bible.
