Isaiah 19
3 Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be emptied out from among them, and I will frustrate their plans, so that they will resort to idols and spirits of the dead, to mediums and spiritists.
4 I will deliver the Egyptians into the hands of a harsh master, and a fierce king will rule over them,” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts.
5 The waters of the Nile will dry up, and the riverbed will be parched and empty.
6 The canals will stink; the streams of Egypt will trickle and dry up; the reeds and rushes will wither.
7 The bulrushes by the Nile, by the mouth of the river, and all the fields sown along the Nile, will wither, blow away, and be no more.
