Exegesis
The locative prepositional phrase beqirbah {בְּקִרְבָּהּ | bə-qir-bāh} ‘in her midst’ locates Egypt at the center of divine activity.
In context — Isaiah 19:14
The LORD has mixed a spirit of confusion within her, and they have led Egypt astray in all its work, like a drunkard staggering in his vomit.
