15 And the Lord will [a](A)utterly destroy
The tongue of the [b]Sea of Egypt;
And He will (B)wave His hand over the (C)Euphrates River
With His scorching wind;
And He will strike it into seven streams
And make people walk over in dry sandals.
16 And there will be a (D)highway from Assyria
For the (E)remnant of His people who will be left,
Just as there was for Israel
On (F)the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.

When I called, why was there no one to answer?
Is My (B)hand so short that it cannot redeem?
Or do I have no power to rescue?

I (D)turn rivers into a wilderness;
Their fish stink for lack of water,
And die of thirst.
