3. And emptied out hath been in its midst the spirit of Egypt. And its counsel I swallow up, And they have sought unto the idols, And unto the charmers, And unto those having familiar spirits, And unto the wizards.
4. And I have delivered the Egyptians Into the hand of a hard lord, And a strong king doth rule over them, An affirmation of the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts.
5. And failed have waters from the sea, And a river is wasted and dried up.
6. And they have turned away the flowings, Weak and dried up have been brooks of the bulwark, Reed and flag have withered.
7. Exposed things by the brook, by the edge of the brook, And every sown thing of the brook, hath withered, It hath been driven away, and is not.
8. And lamented have the fishers, And mourned have all casting angle into a brook, And those spreading nets on the face of the waters have languished.
9. And ashamed have been makers of fine flax, And weavers of net-works.
10. And its foundations have been smitten, All making wages [are] afflicted in soul.
