Economic Ruin: The Drying of the Nile
Isaiah 19:5-10
5
The water will ebb from the sea, the river will be drained dry.
6
The rivers will become foul, the canals of Egypt's Nile will dwindle and dry up, the reeds and rushes will wither.
7
The river-plants on the banks of the Nile and everything sown near the Nile will dry up, blow away and be no more.
8
Fishermen too will lament, all who cast hooks in the Nile will mourn, those who spread nets on the water lose heart.
9
The linen-workers will be in despair, along with the weavers of white cotton;
10
the spinners will be crushed, the hired workers dejected.
