Exegesis
The verb yihyeh {יִֽהְיֶה | yiḥyēh} ‘will be’ predicates the state of mitsrayim {מִצְרַיִם | miṣrāyim} ‘Egypt,’ immediately qualified by the simile kanashim {כַּנָּשִׁים | ka-nāšîm} ‘like women,’ emphasizing national vulnerability.
In context — Isaiah 19:16
In that day Egypt will be like women, and it will tremble and be afraid because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts , which He raises over it.
