The workers in cloth will be dejected, and all the hired workers will be sick at heart.

The verses around it, from Isaiah 19.
6 The canals will stink; the streams of Egypt will trickle and dry up; the reeds and rushes will wither.
7 The bulrushes by the Nile, by the mouth of the river, and all the fields sown along the Nile, will wither, blow away, and be no more.

9 The workers in flax will be dismayed, and the weavers of fine linen will turn pale.
10 The workers in cloth will be dejected, and all the hired workers will be sick at heart.
11 The princes of Zoan are mere fools; Pharaoh’s wise counselors give senseless advice. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am one of the wise, a son of eastern kings”?
12 Where are your wise men now? Let them tell you and reveal what the LORD of Hosts has planned against Egypt.
13 The princes of Zoan have become fools; the princes of Memphis are deceived. The cornerstones of her tribes have led Egypt astray.
14 The LORD has poured into her a spirit of confusion. Egypt has been led astray in all she does, as a drunkard staggers through his own vomit.
