Isaiah 19:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 and bulrushes on the bank of the Nile;(A)
All the sown land along the Nile
shall dry up and blow away, and be no more.
8 The fishermen shall mourn and lament,
all who cast hook in the Nile;
Those who spread their nets in the water
shall pine away.
9 The linen-workers shall be disappointed,
the combers and weavers shall turn pale;(B)
