Isaiah 19:5-10 ▼

5 The waters from the sea will dry up, And the river will be parched and dry.

6 The canals will become foul-smelling, The streams of Egypt will thin out and dry up, The reeds and the rushes will rot away.

7 The meadows by the Nile, by the edge of the Nile, And all the sown fields of the Nile Will become dry, be blown away, and be no more.

8 The fishermen will lament (cry out in grief), And all those who cast a hook into the Nile will mourn, And those who spread nets upon the waters will languish.

9 Moreover, those who make linen from combed flax And those who weave white cloth will be ashamed.

10 [Those who are] the pillars and foundations of Egypt will be crushed; And all those who work for wages will be grieved in soul.
