New International Version (NIV)

8The fishermen will groan and lament,

all who cast hooks into the Nile;

those who throw nets on the water

will pine away.

8And the fishermen will grieve,

And all those who cast a 19:8 Lit hookline into the Nile will mourn,

And those who spread nets on the waters will dwindle away.

8And the fishermen will lament,

And all those who cast a line into the Nile will mourn,

And those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.

8The fishermen will lament (cry out in grief),

And all those who cast a hook into the Nile will mourn,

And those who spread nets upon the waters will languish.

8Then the fishermen will mourn,

all who cast a hook into the Nile will lament,

and those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.

8The fishermen will moan.

All those who drop hooks into the Nile will weep.

Those who throw their nets on the water

will become very sad.
