Ezekiel 29:1-7

1In the tenth year, on the twelfth day of the tenth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all Egypt. 3Speak to him and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says:

Behold, I am against you,O Pharaoh king of Egypt,O great monster who liesamong his rivers,who says, ‘The Nile is mine;I made it myself.’
4But I will put hooks in your jawsand cause the fish of your streamsto cling to your scales.I will haul you up out of your rivers,and all the fish of your streamswill cling to your scales.5I will leave you in the desert,you and all the fish of your streams.You will fall on the open fieldand will not be taken awayor gathered for burial.I have given you as foodto the beasts of the earthand the birds of the air.6Then all the people of Egyptwill know that I am the LORD.
For you were only a staff of reedsto the house of Israel.7When Israel took hold of you with their hands,you splintered, tearing all their shoulders;when they leaned on you,you broke, and their backs were wrenched.1
