6. And the rivers will fail. The streams of its banks will diminish and dry up. The reed and the bulrush will wither away.
7. The channel of the river will be stripped down to its source, and everything irrigated by it will dry up and wither and be no more.
8. And the fishermen will grieve. And all who cast a hook into the river will mourn. And those who cast a net upon the surface of its waters will languish.
9. Those who work with linen, combing and weaving fine textiles, will be confounded.
10. And its irrigated places will begin to fail, with all those who make pools to take fish.
11. The leaders of Tanis are foolish. The wise counselors of Pharaoh have given foolish counsel. How can you say to Pharaoh: "I am the son of wisemen, the son of the kings of antiquity?"
12. Where are your wisemen now? Let them announce it to you, and let them reveal what the Lord of hosts intends for Egypt.
13. The leaders of Tanis have become foolish. The leaders of Memphis have decayed. They have deceived Egypt, the corner of its people.
