Ezekiel 29:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 I will put hooks in your jaws
and make the fish of your channels stick to your scales.
I will draw you up from your channels,
with all the fish of your channels
sticking to your scales.(A)
5 I will fling you into the wilderness,
you and all the fish of your channels;
you shall fall in the open field
and not be gathered or picked up.
To the animals of the earth and to the birds of the air
I have given you as food.(B)
6 Then all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know
that I am the Lord,
because you[a] were a staff of reed
to the house of Israel;(C)
