“The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.”
The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish—the economic collapse of fishing, which would have been a major industry in Egypt. The universal mourning of those dependent on fishing suggests economic catastrophe. This verse indicates the collapse of economic life.
