Isaiah 19:5-10 ▼

5 The water of the sea will dry up, and the river will be parched and dry.

6 The channels will stink; they will dwindle, and Egypt’s canals will be parched. Reed and rush will wilt.

7 The reeds by the Nile, by the mouth of the river, and all the cultivated areas of the Nile will wither, blow away, and vanish.

8 Then the fishermen will mourn. All those who cast hooks into the Nile will lament, and those who spread nets on the water will give up.

9 Those who work with flax will be dismayed; those combing it and weaving linen will turn pale.

10 Egypt’s weavers will be dejected; all her wage earners will be demoralized.
