5 And the waters shall waste fromthe sea, and the river shall be parched and dried up.

6 And the rivers shall stink, the canals of Mazor are emptied and parched up ; reed and flag wither.

7 The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and every sown field by the Nile, shall dry up, be driven away, and be no more.

8 And the fishers shall sigh, and all they that cast angle into the Nile shall mourn, and they that spread nets upon the face of the waters shall languish.
