4. And I will deliver Egypt into the hand of cruel masters, and a strong king will dominate them, says the Lord, the God of hosts.
5. And the waters of the sea will dry up, and the river will be desolate and dry.
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.
