Isaiah 19: 22 And the LORD will smite Egypt, smiting and healing; and they shall return unto the LORD, and He will be entreated of them, and will heal them.
Isaiah 19: 23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians.
Isaiah 19: 24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;
