Economic Ruin: The Drying of the Nile
Isaiah 19:5-10
5
And failed have waters from the sea, And a river is wasted and dried up.
6
And they have turned away the flowings, Weak and dried up have been brooks of the bulwark, Reed and flag have withered.
7
Exposed things by the brook, by the edge of the brook, And every sown thing of the brook, hath withered, It hath been driven away, and is not.
8
And lamented have the fishers, And mourned have all casting angle into a brook, And those spreading nets on the face of the waters have languished.
9
And ashamed have been makers of fine flax, And weavers of net-works.
10
And its foundations have been smitten, All making wages are afflicted in soul.
