Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the [fn]Nile.

Now the [fn]daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the Nile, and [she, together with] her maidens walked along the river’s bank; she saw the basket among the reeds and sent her maid [to get it], and she brought it to her.

“I dug wells and drank foreign waters,

And with the sole of my feet I dried up

All the rivers of [the Lower Nile of] Egypt.”

“He cuts out channels and passages among the rocks;

And his eye sees every precious thing.

And turned their rivers into blood,

And their streams, so that they could not drink.

In that day the LORD will whistle for the fly that is in the [fn]mouth of the rivers and canals of Egypt and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

The canals will become foul-smelling,

The streams of Egypt will thin out and dry up,

The reeds and the rushes will rot away.

And they were on great waters.

The grain of the [fn]Shihor, the harvest of the Nile River, was Tyre’s revenue;

And she was the market of nations.

Overflow your land like [the overflow of] the Nile, O Daughter of Tarshish;

There is no more restraint [on you to make you pay tribute to Tyre].

But there the mighty and magnificent LORD will be for us

A place of broad rivers and streams,

Where no oar-driven boat will go,

And on which no mighty and stately ship will pass.

‘I dug wells and drank [foreign] waters,

And with the sole of my feet I dried up

All the canals [of the Nile] of Egypt.’

Who is this that rises up like the Nile [River],

Like the rivers [in the delta of Egypt] whose waters surge about?

“Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt,

The great monster that lies in the midst of his rivers,

[Boastfully] declaring, ‘My Nile is my own, and I have made it for myself.’

“Because you said, ‘The Nile is mine and I have made it,’

“And I will make the rivers [of the Nile delta] dry

And sell the land into the hands of evil men;

I will make the land desolate

And all that is in it,

By the hand of strangers. I the LORD have spoken.”

Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, there stood two others, the one [angel] on this bank of the river and the other [angel] on that bank of the river.

“Because of this [coming judgment] will the land not quake

And everyone mourn who dwells in it?

Indeed, all of it shall rise up like the Nile,

And it will be tossed around [from the impact of judgment]

And [afterward] subside again like the Nile of Egypt.

The Lord GOD of hosts [the Omnipotent Ruler],

It is He who touches the earth [in judgment] and it melts,

And all who dwell on it mourn [in despair and fear],

And all of it rises up like the Nile

And subsides like the Nile of Egypt;

Are you better than [fn]Thebes,

Which was situated by the waters of the Nile,

With water surrounding her,

Whose defense was the sea (the Nile),

Whose wall consisted of the sea?

“And they will pass through the sea of distress and anxiety [with the LORD leading His people, as at the Red Sea]

And He will strike the waves in the sea,

So that all the depths of the Nile will dry up;

And the pride of Assyria will be brought down

And the scepter [of the taskmasters] of Egypt will pass away.
