Exegesis
The closing pair kaneh vasuf {קָנֶה וָס֖וּף | qā-neh wā-sûp} followed by kamelu {קָמֵֽלוּ | qā-mē-lû} ‘they withered’ extends the judgment to shoreline vegetation, completing a downward progression from main waterways to canals to marsh plants.
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.
