Isaiah 19 — Context

6

The canals will emit a stench, The streams of Egypt will thin out and dry up; The reeds and rushes will rot away.

7

The bulrushes by the Nile, by the edge of the Nile And all the sown fields by the Nile Will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.

8

And the fishermen will lament, And all those who cast a line into the Nile will mourn, And those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.

9

Moreover, the manufacturers of linen made from combed flax And the weavers of white cloth will be utterly dejected.

10

And the pillars of Egypt will be crushed; All the hired laborers will be grieved in soul.

11

The princes of Zoan are mere fools; The advice of Pharaoh's wisest advisers has become stupid. How can you men say to Pharaoh, "I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings"?

12

Well then, where are your wise men? Please let them tell you, And let them understand what the LORD of hosts Has purposed against Egypt.
