Isaiah 19:4-6
New English Translation
4 I will hand Egypt over to a harsh master;
a powerful king will rule over them,”
says the Sovereign Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
5 The water of the sea will be dried up,
and the river will dry up and be empty.[a]
6 The canals[b] will stink;[c]
the streams of Egypt will trickle and then dry up;
the bulrushes and reeds will decay,
Footnotes
