3 Tell them, 'This is what the sovereign LORD says: |'Look, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster lying in the midst of its waterways, who has said, |My Nile is my own, I made it for myself.| 4 I will put hooks in your jaws and stick the fish of your waterways to your scales. I will haul you up from the midst of your waterways, and all the fish of your waterways will stick to your scales. 5 I will leave you in the wilderness, you and all the fish of your waterways; you will fall in the open field and will not be gathered up or collected. I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the skies. Ezekiel 29:3-5, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
