5. The waters of the Nile will fail to rise and flood the fields.The riverbed will be parched and dry.
6. The canals of the Nile will dry up,and the streams of Egypt will stinkwith rotting reeds and rushes.
7. All the greenery along the riverbankand all the crops along the riverwill dry up and blow away.
8. The fishermen will lament for lack of work.Those who cast hooks into the Nile will groan,and those who use nets will lose heart.
