Economic Ruin: The Drying of the Nile

Isaiah 19:5-10

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.

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

Moreover they that work in combed flax, and they that weave white cloth, shall be confounded.

And the pillars of Egypt shall be broken in pieces; all they that work for hire shall be grieved in soul.
