15  And the Lord will utterly destroy¹

^qthe tongue of the Sea of Egypt,

and will wave his hand over ^rthe River²

with his scorching breath,³

and strike it into seven channels,

and he will lead people across in sandals.

27  ^lwho says to the deep, ‘Be dry;

I will dry up your rivers’;

38  ^cA drought against her waters,

that they may be dried up!

^dFor it is a land of images,

and they are mad over idols.

32  the fords have been ^tseized,

the marshes are burned with fire,

and the soldiers are in panic.

36  Therefore thus says the Lord:

“Behold, ^zI will plead your cause

and take vengeance for you.

^aI will dry up her sea

and ^bmake her fountain dry,
