Isaiah 19:6

New King James Version

⁶The rivers will turn foul;
The brooks ^(A)of defense will be emptied and dried up;
The reeds and rushes will wither.

Isaiah 19:6

New International Version

⁶The canals will stink;^(A)
the streams of Egypt will dwindle and dry up.^(B)
The reeds^(C) and rushes will wither,^(D)

⁶And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.

⁶The canals^[a] will stink;^[b]
the streams of Egypt will trickle and then dry up;
the bulrushes and reeds will decay,

Isaiah 19:6 tn Heb “rivers” (so KJV, ASV); NAB, CEV “streams”; TEV “channels.”
Isaiah 19:6 tn The verb form appears as a Hiphil in the Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a; the form in MT may be a so-called “mixed form,” reflecting the Hebrew Hiphil stem and the functionally corresponding Aramaic Aphel stem. See HALOT 276 s.v. I זנח.

⁶and its canals will become foul,
and the branches of Egypt's Nile will diminish and dry up,
reeds and rushes will rot away.
