And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and become dry. And the rivers shall become foul. The streams of Egypt shall be diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags shall wither away. The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, shall become dry, be driven away, and be no more. read more.
And the fishermen shall lament, and all those who cast a hook into the Nile shall mourn, and those who spread nets upon the waters shall languish. Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth, shall be confounded. And the pillars [of Egypt] shall be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire [shall be] grieved in soul.
