5 And the waters shall be dried up from the great stream, - And the River, shall waste and be dry; 6 And rivers, shall stink, The canals of Egypt be shallow and waste, Reed and rush, he withered; 7 The meadows by the Nile, by the mouth of the Nile. And all that is sown in the Nile, Shall be dry, driven away, and not be!
