Isaiah 19:6-8

^{Tools
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.

^{Tools
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.

^{Tools
8}

And the ^(E)fishermen will lament,
And all those who cast a ^(d)line into the Nile will mourn,
And those who spread nets on the waters will ^(e)pine away.
