6. The canals shall emit a stench;the streams of Egypt shall diminish and dry up;the reeds and rushes shall wither.
7. The papyrus reeds by the brooks,by the mouth of the brooks,and everything sown by the brooks,shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.
8. The fishermen also shall mourn,and all those who cast a line into the brooks shall lament,and those who spread nets on the watersshall languish.
9. Moreover those who work with fine flaxand those who weave white cloth shall be humiliated;
10. and the pillars of Egypt shall be crushed.All the hired workers shall be grieved in soul.
11. Surely the princes of Zoan are fools;the counsel of the wise counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid.How can you say to Pharaoh,“I am a son of the wise,a son of ancient kings?”
