5And the waters of the sea will be cut off, and the river will become dry and waste:
6And the rivers will have an evil smell; the stream of Egypt will become small and dry: all the water-plants will come to nothing.
7The grass-lands by the Nile, and everything planted by the Nile, will become dry, or taken away by the wind, and will come to an end.
8The fishermen will be sad, and all those who put fishing-lines into the Nile will be full of grief, and those whose nets are stretched out on the waters will have sorrow in their hearts.
9And all the workers in linen thread, and those who make cotton cloth, will be put to shame.
10And the makers of twisted thread will be crushed, and those who ... will be sad in heart.
