Exegesis
Finally, the construct ûl-bā́v miṣrāyim {וּלְבַב מִצְרַיִם | ūl-bā́v miṣrāyim} ‘and the heart of Egypt’ with yimmās {יִמַּס | yimmās} ‘will melt’ in bəkirbô {בְּקִרְבּֽוֹ | bəkirbô} ‘in its midst’ forms a vivid parallelism, intensifying comprehensive judgment.
In context — Isaiah 19:1
The oracle concerning Egypt. Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud to Egypt, and the idols of Egypt will tremble from before Him, and the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.
