Ezekiel 29:3–9

³speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; ^dBehold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great ^efdragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, ^gwhich hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself. ⁴But ^hI will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy ⁱscales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy ⁱscales. ⁵And I will leave thee ^jthrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; ^kthou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee ^lfor meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven. ⁶And all the inhabitants of Egypt ^mshall know that I am the Lord, because they have been ⁿa staff of reed to the house of Israel. ^7oWhen they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rent all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and ^pmadest all their loins to be at a stand. ⁸Therefore thus saith the Lord God; ^qBehold, I will bring a sword upon thee, ^qand cut off man and beast out of thee. ⁹And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; ^mand they shall know that I am the Lord: ^gbecause he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it.
