The streams in the Nile delta[b] will run low and dry up.

and all the crops planted along the Nile will dry up.
They will blow away and vanish.
Footnotes
- Isaiah 19:5 That is, the Nile, which is called a sea because of its size
- Isaiah 19:6 The Hebrew word for Egypt is usually a dual form, indicating two distinct parts, Upper and Lower Egypt, but here it is singular. It probably refers to lower (that is, northern) Egypt, also known as the Delta, which has many branches of the Nile.
