Isaiah 19:5–7

The waters of the river will dry up,

and the riverbed will be parched and dry.

The canals will stink;

the streams of Egypt will dwindle and dry up.

The reeds and rushes will wither,

also the plants along the Nile,

at the mouth of the river.

Every sown field along the Nile

will become parched, will blow away and be no more.

The water of the sea will dry up,

and the river will be parched and dry.

The channels will stink;

they will dwindle, and Egypt’s canals will be parched.

Reed and rush will wilt.

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.

The waters of the Nile will fail to rise and flood the fields.

The riverbed will be parched and dry.

The canals of the Nile will dry up,

and the streams of Egypt will stink

with rotting reeds and rushes.

All the greenery along the riverbank

and all the crops along the river

will dry up and blow away.

And the waters will be dried up from the sea,

and the river will be parched and dry.

And the rivers will become foul-smelling;

the branches of the Nile of Egypt will become little and dry up;

reed and rush will wither.

Bare places by the Nile will be dried up,

by the edge of the Nile and all the sown land of the Nile;

it will be driven about, and it will be no more.

And the waters shall fail from the sea,

And the river shall be wasted and dried up.

And they shall turn the rivers far away;

And the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up:

The reeds and flags shall wither.

The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks,

And every thing sown by the brooks,

Shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.
