The fishermen will groan,
    and all who cast hooks into the Nile will lament;
those who spread nets upon the water
    will become weaker and weaker.

    and the weavers of white linen
        will be in despair.
10 Egypt’s[b] workers in cloth[c] will be crushed,
    and all who work for wages will be sick at heart.”
