Isaiah 19:6

And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.

KJV

Et deficient flumina, attenuabuntur et siccabuntur rivi aggerum, calamus et juncus marcescet.

Vulgate

καὶ ἐκλείψουσιν οἱ ποταμοὶ καὶ αἱ διώρυχες τοῦ ποταμοῦ, καὶ ξηρανθήσεται πᾶσα συναγωγὴ ὕδατος καὶ ἐν παντὶ ἕλει καλάμου καὶ παπύρου,

LXX

And the rivers shall become foul; the streams of Egypt shall be diminished and dried up; the reeds and flags shall wither away.
