Isaias
Hebrew Bible
Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904
2 And I will stir up Egypt against Egypt, and they shall fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against his neighbour; city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall be made empty in the midst of it; and I will swallow up the counsel thereof; and they shall inquire of the false gods, and the mutterers, and them that have familiar spirits, and the wizards.
4 And I will confine Egypt into the hand of a hard lord; and a harsh king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the Lord of Hosts.
5 And the waters shall waste fromthe sea, and the river shall be parched and dried up.
6 And the rivers shall stink, the canals of Mazor are emptied and parched up ; reed and flag wither.
7 The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and every sown field by the Nile, shall dry up, be driven away, and be no more.
8 And the fishers shall sigh, and all they that cast angle into the Nile shall mourn, and they that spread nets upon the face of the waters shall languish.
9 And they that work combed flax, and they that weave white cloth, shall be ashamed.
10 And her pillars shall be broken in pieces ; all that work for hire (shall be) grieved in soul.
