Isaiah 19:3-5
New American Standard Bible
3 Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be demoralized within them;
And I will confuse their strategy,
So that (A)they will resort to idols and ghosts of the dead,
And to [a]mediums and spiritists.
4 Furthermore, I will hand the Egyptians over to a (B)cruel master,
And a [b]mighty king will rule over them,” declares the Lord [c]God of armies.
5 (C)The waters from the sea will dry up,
And the river will be parched and dry.

King James Version
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts.
5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
