Isaiah 19:6-8

Revised Standard Version

⁶ and its canals will become foul,
    and the branches of Egypt’s Nile will diminish and dry up,
    reeds and rushes will rot away.
⁷ There will be bare places by the Nile,
    on the brink of the Nile,
and all that is sown by the Nile will dry up,
    be driven away, and be no more.
⁸ The fishermen will mourn and lament,
    all who cast hook in the Nile;
and they will languish
    who spread nets upon the water.
