The reeds by the Nile, by the mouth of the river,
and all the cultivated areas of the Nile
will wither, blow away, and vanish.

Those who work with flax will be dismayed;(A)
those combing it and weaving linen will turn pale.[a]

Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.
