Ezekiel 29:6–7

Then all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord.

“Because you have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel, when they grasped you with the hand, you broke and tore all their shoulders; and when they leaned on you, you broke and made all their loins to shake.

Then all who live in Egypt will know that I am the Lord.

“ ‘You have been a staff of reed for the people of Israel. When they grasped you with their hands, you splintered and you tore open their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke and their backs were wrenched.

“ ‘Then all the inhabitants of Egypt

will know that I am the Lord,

for they have been a staff made of reed

to the house of Israel.

When Israel grasped you by the hand,

you splintered, tearing all their shoulders;

when they leaned on you,

you shattered and made all their hips unsteady.

All the people of Egypt will know that I am the Lord,

for to Israel you were just a staff made of reeds.

When Israel leaned on you,

you splintered and broke

and stabbed her in the armpit.

When she put her weight on you,

you collapsed, and her legs gave way.

And all of the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh,

because of their being a staff of reed for the house of Israel.

When they took hold of you with the hand, you snapped,

and you split their every shoulder.

And when they leaned on you, you broke,

and you caused all of their loins to wobble.”

And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.
