Ezekiel 29:3-5

New Catholic Bible

Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh,
    king of Egypt,
you great crocodile
    lurking in the streams of the Nile,
you who claimed, “The Nile is mine;
    it is I who made it.”
⁴ I will put hooks through your jaws
    and cause the fish of your Nile
    to stick to your scales.
Then I will draw you up
    from the midst of its tributaries,
with all the fish of those channels
    clinging to your scales.
⁵ I will fling you into the desert,
    you and all the fish of your tributaries.
You will fall upon the open field
    and not be taken up or buried.
I will give you as food
    to the animals of the earth
    and the birds of the air.
