Isaiah 19:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 19:5

3 The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst;
I will destroy their counsel,
And they will ^aconsult the idols and the charmers,
The mediums and the sorcerers.

4 And the Egyptians I will give
^aInto the hand of a cruel master,
And a fierce king will rule over them,”
Says the Lord, the Lord of hosts.

5 ^aThe waters will fail from the sea,
And the river will be wasted and dried up.

6 The rivers will turn foul;
The brooks ^aof defense will be emptied and dried up;
The reeds and rushes will wither.

7 The papyrus reeds by¹ the River, by the mouth of the River,
And everything sown by the River,
Will wither, be driven away, and be no more.

8 The fishermen also will mourn;
All those will lament who cast hooks into the River,
And they will languish who spread nets on the waters.

9 Moreover those who work in ^afine flax
And those who weave fine fabric will be ashamed;
