These two phrases mean basically the same thing. If necessary, the reason they will be distressed can be stated clearly. AT: "The linen makers of Egypt will be humiliated because there is no flax" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])
# The workers in combed flax
"Those who work with combed flax"
