Isaiah 19:6-8

Modern English Version

⁶ The canals shall emit a stench;
    the streams of Egypt shall diminish and dry up;
the reeds and rushes shall wither.
⁷     The papyrus reeds by the brooks,
    by the mouth of the brooks,
and everything sown by the brooks,
    shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.
⁸ The fishermen also shall mourn,
    and all those who cast a line into the brooks shall lament,
and those who spread nets on the waters
    shall languish.
