Prophecy against Egypt

“Son of Man, turn your attention to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and the entire nation of Egypt. Tell him that this is what the Lord God says:

‘Watch out! I’m coming to get[a] you,
    Pharaoh, king of Egypt!
You big monster!
    You lay in wait in the middle of your waterways[b] and say,
“My waterways belong to me!
    I made them for myself!”
