The meadows by the Nile, on the banks of the Nile, and everything sown by the Nile, shall be dried up, be driven away, and be no more.

And the fishers shall mourn, and all they that cast fish-hook into the Nile shall lament, and they that spread net upon the waters shall languish.

And on great waters, the seed of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue; and she was the market of the nations.

Overflow thy land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish: there is no more restraint.
