6And they shall turne the riuers farre away, and the brookes of defence shall be emptied and dried vp: the reeds and flagges shall wither. 7The paper reeds by the brookes, by the mouth of the brookes, and euery thing sowen by the brooks shal wither, be driuen away, and be no more. 8The fishers also shall mourne, and all they that cast angle into the brookes shall lament, and they that spread nets vpon the waters shall languish. 9Moreouer they that worke in fine flaxe, and they that weaue net-works shall be confounded. 10And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluces and ponds for fish.
