Ezekiel 29:3-5

Modern English Version

I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt,
    the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers,
which has said, “My Nile is my own,
    and I myself have made it.”
⁴ But I will put hooks in your jaws,
    and will cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales,
and will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers,
    and all the fish of your rivers shall stick to your scales.
⁵ I will abandon you to the wilderness,
    you and all the fish of your rivers;
you shall fall upon the open field;
    you shall not be brought together or gathered.
I have given you for food
    to the beasts of the field and to the fowl of the heavens.
