Isaiah 19:6
_ _ they shall turn the rivers — rather, “the streams shall become putrid”; that is, the artificial streams made for irrigation shall become stagnant and offensive when the waters fail [Maurer]. Horsley, with the Septuagint, translates, “And waters from the sea shall be drunk”; by the failure of the river water they shall be reduced to sea water.
_ _ brooks of defence — rather, “canals of Egypt”; “canals,” literally, “Niles,” Nile canals, the plural of the Egyptian term for the great river. The same Hebrew word, Matzor, whence comes Mitzraim, expresses Egypt, and a place of “defense.” Horsley, as English Version translates it, “embanked canals,”
_ _ reeds ... flags — the papyrus. “Reed and rush”; utter withering. |
Isaiah 19:6
Rivers — The rivers (those rivulets by which the waters of Nile were distributed into several parts of the land) shall be turned far away, as they must needs be, when the river which fed them was dried up. Brooks — The several branches of the river Nile, which were a great defence to Egypt. Reeds — Which were useful to them for making their boats. Whither — As they commonly do for want of water. |
Isaiah 19:6
And they shall turn the (f) rivers far away; [and] the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.
(f) For the Nile ran into the sea by seven streams, as though they were many rivers. |

Isaiah 37:25 I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.
2 Kings 19:24 I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.

- the reeds:
Isaiah 18:2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, [saying], Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
Exodus 2:3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid [it] in the flags by the river's brink.
Job 8:11 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
