Ezekiel 29:3-5

World English Bible

“Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt,
    the great monster that lies in the middle of his rivers,
that has said, ‘My river is my own,
    and I have made it for myself.’
⁴ I will put hooks in your jaws,
    and I will make the fish of your rivers stick to your scales.
I will bring you up out of the middle of your rivers,
    with all the fish of your rivers which stick to your scales.
⁵ I’ll cast you out into the wilderness,
    you and all the fish of your rivers.
You’ll fall on the open field.
    You won’t be brought together or gathered.
I have given you for food to the animals of the earth
    and to the birds of the sky.
