Isaiah 19:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 The [a](A)canals will emit a stench,
The [b](B)streams of Egypt will thin out and dry up;
(C)The reeds and rushes will rot away.
7 The bulrushes by the (D)Nile, by the [c]edge of the Nile
And all the sown fields by the Nile
Will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
8 And the (E)fishermen will grieve,
And all those who cast a [d]line into the Nile will mourn,
And those who spread nets on the waters will dwindle away.
