Exegesis
The verse begins with the vav-consecutive verb venishtu {וְנִשְּׁתוּ | wə-nis-šə-tū} ‘and will be dried up’, which initiates a prophetic series.
The noun mayim {מַיִם | ma-yim} ‘waters’ follows to highlight what is affected, connected by mehayam {מֵהַיָּם | mē-hay-yām} ‘from the sea’.
Root and etymology
mem-yod-memm-y-m
