17:7In that day man will look to his Maker, / And his eyes will behold the Holy One of Israel. Compare

17:12Woe! The roar of many peoples, / Who roar like the roaring of the seas; / The din of nations, / Who crash like the crashing of mighty waters! Compare

19:7The plants at the Nile, at the mouth of the Nile, / And every place sown by the Nile / Will dry up, be driven away, and be no more. Compare
19:8The fishermen will mourn; / And all who cast the hook into the Nile will lament; / And those who spread nets upon the waters will languish. Compare
