Exegesis
The verbs dalalu {דָּלֲל֥וּ | dā-lă-lû} ‘they dwindled’ and vecharvu {וְחָרְב֖וּ | wə-ḥār-ḇû} ‘and they dried up’ move from contamination to depletion, intensifying the devastation.
In context — Isaiah 19:6
The rivers will reek, and the canals of Egypt will dwindle and dry up; the reeds and rushes will wither.
