And the spirit of the Egyptians within them will be emptied out, and I will confound their counsel; and they will inquire of the idols and the sorcerers, and the mediums and the necromancers...
Isaiah 19:3 ESV
Once God has decided to pass judgment on a nation, he will encourage the false prophets and teachers in their midst to that they will believe more of the lies that they already want to believe.
And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians, and they will fight, each against another and each against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom;
Isaiah 19:2 ESV
Remember that Egypt Is often used in prophecy as a metaphor of the whole world apart from Israel. “Kingdom against kingdom” could refer to upper and lower Egypt, but likely also refers to the kingdoms of all the world. God judges one nation by sending another nation.
...the spirit of the Egyptians within them will be emptied out...
Isaiah 19:3 ESV
Bakak, translated as “pour out” or “empty” or “fail”, is not the same word used for when God pours out his spirit (nabah, yatzak, or shafak).
When God pours his spirit out on a people, that’s a good thing. God can never empty his spirit because he is infinite. It fills us up. This is a draining of spirit, probably representing hopelessness, a desperation to find answers from any source, no matter how weak.

Good Morning ☕️?
An oracle concerning Egypt. Behold, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud and comes to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence, and the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them.
Isaiah 19:1 ESV
Egypt (mitzrayim) literally refers to Egypt, but it is also a metaphor of the world apart from Israel. Try reading this prophecy in that light and see if it speaks on both levels.
“Cloud” (ab) implies a dark storm cloud. It’s the same word translated as “thick cloud” in Exodus 19:9 ESV when God meets Moses on Sinai. God's presence is often accompanied by clouds, smoke, darkness, and fire.
