3 “And the spirit of Mitsrayim shall vanish within them, and I destroy their counsel. And they shall seek the idols and the mutterers, the mediums and the sorcerers.
4 “And I shall deliver the Mitsrites into the hand of a cruel master, and a fierce sovereign to rule over them,” declares the Master, יהוה of hosts.
5 And waters shall fail from the sea, and the river wasted and dried up.
6 And the rivers shall stink, and the streams shall be weak and dried up. Reeds and rushes shall wither.
7 Bare places by the River, by the mouth of the River, and every sown field by the River shall wither. It shall be driven away, and be no more.
8 And the fishermen shall lament, and all those who cast hooks into the River shall mourn, and they who spread nets on the waters shall pine away.
9 And those who work in fine flax, and those who weave fine fabric shall become ashamed.
