Yahweh said to Moses, "Walk on before the people, and take the elders of Israel with you, and take the rod in your hand with which you struck the Nile, and go.

The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.

The fishermen will lament, and all those who fish in the Nile will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will languish.

On great waters, the seed of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue. She was the market of nations.

Pass through your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish. There is no restraint any more.

Who is this who rises up like the Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers?

Egypt rises up like the Nile, and his waters toss themselves like the rivers: and he says, I will rise up, I will cover the earth; I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.

He will pass through the sea of affliction, and will strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile will dry up; and the pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
