King James Version (KJV)

Egypt riseth up like a flood, and {his} waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, {and} will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.

Modern English

Egypt rises up like the Nile, and his waters toss themselves like the rivers. He says, ‘I will rise up. I will cover the earth. I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.’
