Isaiah 19:5-10
New American Standard Bible
5 (A)The waters from the sea will dry up,
And the river will be parched and dry.
6 The [a](B)canals will emit a stench,
The [b](C)streams of Egypt will thin out and dry up;
(D)The reeds and rushes will rot away.
7 The bulrushes by the (E)Nile, by the [c]edge of the Nile
And all the sown fields by the Nile
Will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
8 And the (F)fishermen will grieve,
And all those who cast a [d]line into the Nile will mourn,
And those who spread nets on the waters will dwindle away.
9 Moreover, the manufacturers of linen made from combed flax
And the weavers of white (G)cloth will be [e]utterly dejected.
10 And [f]the (H)pillars of Egypt will be crushed;
All the hired laborers will be grieved in soul.
