aInto the hand of a cruel master,
And a fierce king will rule over them,”
Says the Lord, the Lord of hosts.
The brooks aof defense will be emptied and dried up;
The reeds and rushes will wither.
And everything sown by the River,
Will wither, be driven away, and be no more.
All those will lament who cast hooks into the River,
And they will languish who spread nets on the waters.
| << Isaiah 19:5 | Isaiah 19:7 >> |
