the streams of Egypt will trickle and then dry up;
the bulrushes and reeds will decay,
19:7along with the plants by the mouth of the river.11
All the cultivated land near the river
will turn to dust and be blown away.12
19:8The fishermen will mourn and lament,
all those who cast a fishhook into the river,
and those who spread out a net on the water’s surface will grieve.13
Footnotes
- 9 Heb “rivers” (so , ); , “streams”; “channels.”
- 10 The verb form appears as a Hiphil in the Qumran scroll 1QIsaa; the form in may be a so-called “mixed form,” reflecting the Hebrew Hiphil stem and the functionally corresponding Aramaic Aphel stem. See I זנח.
- 11 Heb “the plants by the river, by the mouth of the river.”
- 12 Heb “will dry up, [being] scattered, and it will vanish.”
- 13 Or perhaps, “will disappear”; cf. “will be useless.”

ESVEnglish Standard Version
and its canals will become foul,
and the branches of Egypt’s Nile will diminish and dry up,
reeds and rushes will rot away.
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.
The fishermen will mourn and lament,
all who cast a hook in the Nile;
and they will languish
who spread nets on the water.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
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 fishermen will groan and lament,
all who cast hooks into the Nile;
those who throw nets on the water
will pine away.

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.
Then the fishermen will mourn.
All those who cast hooks into the Nile will lament,
and those who spread nets on the water will give up.

NLTNew Living Translation
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.
The fishermen will lament for lack of work.
Those who cast hooks into the Nile will groan,
and those who use nets will lose heart.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
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 fishers will mourn,
and all of those who cast fishhooks in the Nile will lament,
and those who spread out fishing nets on the surface of the water will languish.

KJV 1900King James Version
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.
The fishers also shall mourn,
And all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament,
And they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
