²¹ Under the lotus plants he lies,
    in the shelter of ^(A)the reeds and in the marsh.

^7 (A)the burning sand shall become a pool,
    and the thirsty ground springs of water;
in the haunt of ^(B)jackals, where they lie down,
    the grass shall become reeds and rushes.

⁶ and its canals will become foul,
    and the branches of Egypt's Nile will diminish and dry up,
    reeds and rushes will rot away.
⁷ There will be bare places by the Nile,
    on the brink of the Nile,
and all that is sown by the Nile will be parched,
    will be driven away, and will be no more.
