And the waters of the sea will be dried up,
    and the river will be dry and parched,
and its canals will become foul,
    and the branches of Egypt's Nile will diminish and dry up,

    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.
