Ezekiel 29:2-5

2“Son of man, set your face against 1Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all 2Egypt. 3Speak and say, ‘Thus says the Lord 3God, “Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, The great 4 5monster that lies in the midst of his 6rivers, That 7has said, ‘My Nile is mine, and I myself have made it.’4I will put 8hooks in your jaws And make the fish of your 9rivers cling to your scales. And I will bring you up out of the midst of your 10rivers, And all the fish of your 11rivers will cling to your scales.5I will 12abandon you to the wilderness, you and all the fish of your 13rivers; You will fall on the 14open field; you will not be brought together or 15 16gathered. I have given you for 17food to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the sky.
