3 And the spirit of the Egyptians will be disturbed in his midst, and I will confuse his plans, and they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead, and the ghosts and the spiritists.
4 And I will hand over the Egyptians into the hand of a hard master, and a powerful king will rule over them,” declares the Lord Yahweh of hosts.
5 And the waters will be dried up from the sea, and the river will be parched and dry.
6 And the rivers will become foul-smelling; the branches of the Nile of Egypt will become little and dry up; reed and rush will wither.
7 Bare places by the Nile will be dried up, by the edge of the Nile and all the sown land of the Nile; it will be driven about, and it will be no more.
8 And the fishers will mourn, and all of those who cast fishhooks in the Nile will lament, and those who spread out fishing nets on the surface of the water will languish.
9 And the workers of combed flax will be ashamed, and those who weave white linen.
