Isaiah 19:7

The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.

Cross-reference

In Isaiah 32:20, sowing by waters is blessed; here sowing by brooks fails due to drought—contrast of blessing and judgment.

In Jeremiah 14:4, drought causes ground to crack and farmers ashamed—same theme of agricultural disaster from lack of water.

In Ezekiel 19:13, a vine planted in dry ground echoes the dried-up plants by the Nile — both use plant withering to depict desolation.

Joel 1:17 Parallel

Joel 1:17 describes shriveled seed under clods, mirroring the agricultural drought of Isaiah 19:7 — both depict crops failing.

Joel 1:18 Parallel

Joel 1:18 shows beasts groaning for lack of pasture — a consequence of the plant die-off, similar to the dried vegetation in Isaiah 19:7.
