The following is a map between Isaiah 19 and Zechariah. Key matches include Brothers, Rivers Dry, Foolish Shepherd, Drunkenness, 5 Cities and Worship.
Come
13 Isaiah 19:1
1The prophecy concerning the fall of Egypt. Look, Yahvah is riding on swift clouds, and comes into Egypt; and the idols of Egypt will be moved at his presence, and the heart of the Egyptians will melt in the middle of it.
19 Zechariah 9:9
9Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Look, your King comes to you; he is righteous and a Savior, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Brothers
13 Isaiah 19:2
2And I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian; and they will fight each against his brother, and each against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
19 Zechariah 9:13
13For I have bent my bow over Judah and filled my bow over Ephraim, and I have set your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and made Jerusalem like the sword of a mighty man.
Idols
13 Isaiah 19:3
3And the spirit of the Egyptian will fail in its middle; and I will blot out their counsel; and they will inquire of idols and of the sorcerers and of those who have familiar spirits and of wizards.
19 Zechariah 10:2
2For the learned men have spoken iniquity, and the diviners have seen a lie and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain; therefore the people went their way like a flock, they were afflicted because they had no shepherd.
Cruel Master
13 Isaiah 19:4
4And I will deliver the Egyptians into the hands of the cruel masters; and a fierce king will rule over them says Yahvah, Sovereign of hosts.
19 Zechariah 10:3
3My anger is raging against the shepherds, and I will punish the flocks; for Yahvah of hosts has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and has made them as a splendid horse in the battle.
Rivers Dry
13 Isaiah 19:5-10
5And they will cut off the water from the sea, and the river will be wasted and dried up.
6And they will divert the waters of the rivers, and will diminish the great rivers; the reeds and rushes and papyrus will wither.
7The rushes by the river, and by the mouth of the river, and everything sown by the river will wither, be driven away, and not be anymore.
8The fishermen will also lament, and all who cast hooks into the river will mourn, and those who spread nets on the water will languish.
9Moreover, those who work in cotton, and those who comb cotton and weave with joy, will be confounded.
10And all those who make strong drink for the drinking of the people will be humiliated.
19 Zechariah 10:11
11And they will pass through the sea of affliction, and he will turn back the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the river will dry up; and the pride of Assyria will cease, and the government of Egypt will pass away.
Foolish Shepherd
13 Isaiah 19:11-13
11Surely the princes of Zoan have become fools, the wise counsellors of King Pharaoh give foolish counsel; how can you say to Pharaoh, We are wise men, the sons of the ancient kings?
12Where are your wise men? Let them tell you now, and let them know what Yahvah of hosts has purposed against Egypt.
13The princes of Zoan have become fools, the princes of Memphis have become haughty and have deceived Egypt, even the foundation of her families.
19 Zechariah 11:15-17
15And Yahvah said to me, Take to yourself the clothes of a foolish shepherd.
16For look, I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will not search for those who are lost, he will not seek those who have gone astray, nor bind those who are broken, nor heal those who are sick, nor feed those who stand still; but he will eat the flesh of the fat and break off their shanks.
17Woe to you, foolish shepherd, for you have left the flock neglected on your side and before your eyes. Let your right arm be withered and your right eye be blinded.
Drunkenness
13 Isaiah 19:14
14Yahvah has mingled a spirit of deceit inside her; and it has caused the Egyptian to err in all his works, as a drunk man staggers in his vomit.
19 Zechariah 12:2
2Look, I will make Jerusalem a fearful place to all the people around her, there will also be a siege both against Judah together with Jerusalem.
Woodpile
13 Isaiah 19:15
15There will not be any leader of the Egyptians who can make head or tail of it, nor tail or head.
19 Zechariah 12:6
6On that day, I will make the princes of Judah like a fiery coal in the middle of wood, and like a torch of fire in stubble; and they will devour all the people around it, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will be inhabited again in its own place, even in Jerusalem.
?
13 Isaiah 19:16
16On that day the Egyptian will be like a woman, and he will be afraid and tremble because of the shaking of the hand of Yahvah of hosts, which he shakes against him.
Plan of Yahvah
13 Isaiah 19:17
17And the land of Judah will be a terror to the Egyptian; everyone who makes mention of it will be filled with dread because of the counsel of Yahvah of hosts which he has determined against the Egyptian.
19 Zechariah 12:9
9And it will come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
5 Cities*
13 Isaiah 19:18
18In that day there will be 5 cities in the land of Egypt which speak the language of Canaan and swear by Yahvah of hosts; one of them will be called Haris, the city of destruction.
19 Zechariah 12:11-14
11On that day, there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Baramon in the plain of Megiddo.
12And the land will mourn, every family together; the family of the house of David together, and their wives together; the family of the house of Nathan together, and their wives together;
13the family of the house of Levi together, and their wives together; and the family of the house of Simeon together, and their wives together;
14all the families that are left will mourn, each family together, and their wives together.
*I'm counting fives here: 1) David, 2) Nathan, 3) Levi, 4) Shimei and 5) remaining.
Worship*
13 Isaiah 19:19-25
19On that day there will be an altar to Yahvah in the middle of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at its border to Yahvah.
20And it will be for a sign and for a witness to Yahvah of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to Yahvah because of the oppressors, and he will send them a savior and a judge, and he will deliver them.
21And Yahvah will be known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians will know Yahvah in that day, and will offer sacrifices and oblations; yes, they will vow a vow to Yahvah and perform it.
22And Yahvah will strike the Egyptians; he will strike and heal them; and they will return to Yahvah, and he will answer them and will heal them.
23In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria and from Assyria to Egypt, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will serve the Assyrians.
24In that day Israel will be the 3rd with Egyptians and with Assyrians, even a blessing in the middle of the land,
25whom Yahvah of hosts will bless saying, Blessed be Egypt my people and Assyria the work of my hands and Israel my heritage.
19 Zechariah 14:16-19
16And it will come to pass, that everyone who is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem, will even go up from year to year to worship the King, Yahvah of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17And it will be, whoever will not come up of all the families of the land to Jerusalem to worship the King, Yahvah of hosts, there will not be rain on them.
18And if the family of Egypt does not go up and does not come, then on them will also come the plague with which Yahvah will strike the nations that do not come up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all nations that do not come up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
*The ASV mentions "worship" in Isaiah 19:21 and 19:23. The KJV uses "do" and "serve" instead. Given the match with Zechariah 14:16-19 the ASV seems to read closer to the intended meaning.
