Isaiah 19:5-10
English Standard Version
5 And the waters of the sea will be dried up,
and the river will be dry and parched,
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.
8 The (A)fishermen will mourn and lament,
all who cast a hook in the Nile;
and they will languish
who spread nets on the water.
9 The workers in (B)combed flax will be in despair,
and the weavers of white cotton.
10 Those who are the (C)pillars of the land will be crushed,
and all who (D)work for pay will be grieved.
