Isaiah 19:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 And the [a]rivers shall go far away: the rivers of defense shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall be cut down.
7 The grass in the river, and at the [b]head of the rivers, and all that groweth by the river shall wither, and be driven away, and be no more.
8 The fishers also shall [c]mourn, and all they that cast angle into the river, shall lament, and they that spread their net upon the waters, shall be weakened.
