Isaiah 19:5-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ The water of the sea will become dry. The Nile river will also become dry and it will have no water in it. ⁶ The streams will have a bad smell. All the streams and rivers will slowly become dry. The reeds and the river grasses will die. ⁷ The plants beside the river will die, as well as the crops in the fields along the shore. Everything will become dry and the wind will blow it all away.

⁸ The people who catch fish in the Nile river will be very sad. Yes, everyone who throws a hook into the river will cry. The people who throw nets into the river will not catch any fish.

⁹ The people who make linen cloth will not know what to do. There will be no flax for them to use. ¹⁰ They will be very upset. All the people who work to get money will be sad.
