Isaiah 19:4-10
4I will deliver the Egyptians into the hands of harsh masters, and a fierce king will rule over them,” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts.

>>The waters of the Nile will dry up, and the riverbed will be parched and empty.

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

>>Then the fishermen will mourn, all who cast a hook into the Nile will lament, and those who spread nets on the waters will pine away. 9The workers in flax will be dismayed, and the weavers of fine linen will turn pale.
>>The workers in cloth will be dejected, and all the hired workers will be sick at heart.

Ethiopia is staking its hopes on its $4.5 billion hydroelectric dam. Egypt fears it will cut into its water supplies. President Trump is mediating.

>>“The Nile is a question of life, a matter of existence to Egypt,” President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said at the United Nations last September.

The Nile ends its winding 4,000-mile journey through Africa in Ras el-Bar, a seaside town on Egypt’s north coast, where the river slips quietly into the Mediterranean. One morning, Ahmed el-Alfi, 16, stood on the rocks on its bank, fishing for shrimp.

>>The young fisherman didn’t know much about the talks with Ethiopia, but he could see the river’s problems himself.

>>“The sea is clear but the Nile is dirty,” he said Mr. el-Alfi. “It’s full of rubbish.”

>>And yet, he added, Egypt had no option but to fight for it.

>>“Without the Nile,” he said, “there is no Egypt.”
