Isaiah 19:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 19:7

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;

10 And its foundations will be broken.
All who make wages will be troubled of soul.
