And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the troubled water? And what hast thou to do with the way of the Assyrians, to drink the water of the river?
Which by thy merchandise that went from thee by sea didst fill many people: which by the multitude of thy riches, and of thy people didst enrich the kings of the earth?
The channel of the river shall be laid bare from its fountain, and every thing sown by the water shall be dried up. It shall wither away and shall be no more.
For the land, which thou goest to possess, is not like the land of Egypt, from whence thou camest out: where, when the seed is sown, waters are brought in to water it after the manner of gardens.
From the troubled river, that watereth Egypt, unto the borders of Accaron northward: the land of Chanaan, which is divided among the lords of the Philistines, the Gazites, the Azotians, the Ascalonites, the Gethites, and the Accronites.
