5 aThe waters from the sea will dry up,
And the river will be parched and dry.
6 The arivers will emit a stench,
The bstreams of Egypt will thin out and dry up;
cThe reeds and rushes will rot away.
7 The bulrushes by the aNile, by the edge of the Nile
And all the sown fields by the Nile
Will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
