Isaiah 19:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ Its canals will stink.
    And the streams of Egypt will get smaller and smaller
    until they dry up.
The tall grass that grows along the river will dry up.
⁷     So will the plants along the banks of the Nile.
Even the planted fields along the Nile will dry up.
    Everything that grows there will blow away and disappear.
⁸ The fishermen will moan.
    All those who drop hooks into the Nile will weep.
Those who throw their nets on the water
    will become very sad.
