Isaiah 19:10
 Isaiah 19:10 
New International Version (© 2011)
The workers in cloth will be dejected, and all the wage earners will be sick at heart.

King James Bible
And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.

American Standard Version
And the pillars of Egypt'shall be broken in pieces; all they that work for hire'shall be grieved in soul.

Young's Literal Translation
And its foundations have been smitten, All making wages are afflicted in soul.

Isaiah 19:10 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

And they shall be broken, etc. "Her stores" - שתתיה shathotheyha, αποθηκαι, granaries. - Aquila.

All that make sluices and ponds for fish "All that make a gain of pools for fish" - This obscure line is rendered by different interpreters in very different manners. Kimchi explains אגמי agmey as if it were the same with אגמה agemah, from Job 30:25, in which he is followed by some of the rabbins, and supported by the Septuagint: and שכר secher, which I translate gain, and which some take for nets or enclosures, the Septuagint render by ζυθον, strong drink or beer, which it is well known was much used in Egypt; and so likewise the Syriac, retaining the Hebrew word שכרא sekra. I submit these very different interpretations to the reader's judgment. The Version of the Septuagint is as follows:

Και παντες οἱ ποιουντες τον ζυθον λυπηθησονται, και τας ψυχας πονεσουσι· "And all they that make barley wine shall mourn, and be grieved in soul."
