Isaiah 19:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷     So will the plants along the banks of the Nile.
Even the planted fields along the Nile will dry up.
    Everything that grows there will blow away and disappear.
⁸ The fishermen will moan.
    All those who drop hooks into the Nile will weep.
Those who throw their nets on the water
    will become very sad.
⁹ Those who make clothes out of flax will lose hope.
    So will those who weave fine linen.
