Ezekiel 29:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

Listen, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, I have become your enemy.
You are like the great monster that lies in Egypt's streams.
You say, ‘The Nile river belongs to me! I made it for myself.’
⁴ But I will put hooks into your mouth and catch you.
I will cause the fish in your streams to hang on your scales.^[a]
I will pull you out from the streams with all those fish on you.
⁵ I will leave you in the wilderness with all your fish.
You will lie on the ground in the open fields.
Nobody will pick you up or take care of you.
I will give you to the wild animals and birds to be their food.
