Isaiah 19:3-5
International Standard Version
3 The spirits of the Egyptians within them will be drained of courage,[a]
and I will bring their plans to nothing.
They will consult idols[b] and spirits of the dead,
and mediums and spiritists.
4 I will hand the Egyptians over
to the power of a cruel master,
and a fierce king will rule over them,”
declares the Lord God of the Heavenly Armies.

5 “The water sources[c] of the Nile[d] will be dried up,
and the river[e] will become dry and parched.
