Isaiah 19:5-10 ▼

5 The waters shall be drained from the sea, the river shall parch and dry up;

6 Its streams shall become foul, and the canals of Egypt shall dwindle and parch. Reeds and rushes shall wither away,

7 and bulrushes on the bank of the Nile; All the sown land along the Nile shall dry up and blow away, and be no more.

8 The fishermen shall mourn and lament, all who cast hook in the Nile; Those who spread their nets in the water shall pine away.

9 The linen-workers shall be disappointed, the combers and weavers shall turn pale;

10 The spinners shall be crushed, all the hired laborers shall be despondent.
