²⁷ who says to the deep, “Be dry—
    I will dry up your rivers”;^(A)

³⁶ Therefore thus says the Lord:
I am going to defend your cause
    and take vengeance for you.
I will dry up her sea
    and make her fountain dry,^(A)

³⁸ A drought against her waters,
    that they may be dried up!
For it is a land of images,
    and they go mad over idols.^(A)

¹⁵ I will lay waste mountains and hills
    and dry up all their herbage;
I will turn the rivers into islands
    and dry up the pools.^(A)

³² the fords have been seized,
    the marshes have been burned with fire,
    and the soldiers are in panic.^(A)

¹⁵ For I am the Lord your God,
    who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—
    the Lord of hosts is his name.^(A)

¹⁶ Thus says the Lord,
    who makes a way in the sea,
    a path in the mighty waters,^(A)

¹⁵ And the Lord will dry up^[a]
    the tongue of the sea of Egypt
and will wave his hand over the River
    with his scorching wind
and will split it into seven channels
    and make a way to cross on foot;^(A)
16 so there shall be a highway from Assyria
    for the remnant that is left of his people,
as there was for Israel
    when they came up from the land of Egypt.^(B)
