Isaiah 19:6

The canals ¹  will stink; ²  the streams of Egypt will trickle and then dry up; the bulrushes and reeds will decay,

The canals will stink; the streams of Egypt will dwindle and dry up. The reeds and rushes will wither,

The canals will emit a stench, The streams of Egypt will thin out and dry up; The reeds and rushes will rot away.

The canals of the Nile will dry up, and the streams of Egypt will become foul with rotting reeds and rushes.

The canals will become stagnant and stink, every stream touching the Nile dry up. River vegetation will rot away

And the rivers will have an evil smell; the stream of Egypt will become small and dry: all the water-plants will come to nothing.

its canals will become foul, and the branches of Egypt’s Nile will diminish and dry up, reeds and rushes will rot away.

The rivers will turn foul; The brooks of defense will be emptied and dried up; The reeds and rushes will wither.

The canals ¹  will stink; ²  the streams of Egypt will trickle and then dry up; the bulrushes and reeds will decay,

¹ tn Heb “rivers” (so KJV, ASV); NAB, CEV “streams”; TEV “channels.”

² tn The verb form appears as a Hiphil in the Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a; the form in MT may be a so-called “mixed form,” reflecting the Hebrew Hiphil stem and the functionally corresponding Aramaic Aphel stem. See HALOT 276 s.v. I זנח.
