Ezekiel 29:3-5

Lexham English Bible

“Look! I am against you,
    Pharaoh, king of Egypt,
the great sea monster,
    the one lying down
in the midst of his Nile streams,
    who says to me, “It is my Nile, and I made it for myself.”^[a]
4 And so I will put hooks in your jawbones,
    and I will make the fish of your Nile streams stick to your scales,
and I will bring you up from the midst of your Nile streams,
    and all of the fish of your Nile streams which cling to your scales.
⁵ And I will fling you to the desert,
    you and all the fish of your Nile streams.
On the surface of the field you will fall;
    you will not be gathered,
    and you will not be assembled.
To the animals^[b] of the field
    and to the birds^[c] of the heavens
    I will give you as food.
