And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.

The canals will stink; the streams of Egypt will trickle and dry up; the reeds and rushes will wither.

I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.

I have dug wells and drunk foreign waters. With the soles of my feet I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.”
