Exegesis
Each construct participle clause—mashlikhei ba-ya-or khakah {מַשְׁלִיכֵ֥י בַיְא֖וֹר חַכָּ֑ה | maš-lî-ḵê ba-yé-ʾôr ḥaḵ-kāh} ‘those who cast a hook in the Nile’ and u-forshei mikmoret {וּפֹרְשֵׂ֥י מִכְמֹ֛רֶת | ū-pôr-śê miḵ-mō-rêt} ‘those who spread nets’—uses participles to express habitual fishing practices. The merismus between hook and net underscores the totality of fishing methods.
In context — Isaiah 19:8
And the fishermen will mourn, and all who cast a hook in the Nile will lament, and those who spread nets upon the surface of the waters will languish.
