I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord.
A fierce king will rule over them,”
says the Lord, GOD of Armies.
The waters will fail from the sea, and the river will be wasted and become dry.
The rivers will become foul.
The streams of Egypt will be diminished and dried up.
The reeds and flags will wither away.
The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
