Ezekiel 29:1 - 29:5

Prophesy Against Egypt

In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all Egypt. 3 Speak and say, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh,

“Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt,

The great monster that lies in the midst of his canals of the Nile,

That has said, ‘My Nile is mine, and I myself have made it.’

I will put hooks in your jaws

And make the fish of your canals of the Nile cling to your scales.

And I will bring you up out of the midst of your canals of the Nile,

And all the fish of your canals of the Nile will cling to your scales.

I will abandon you to the wilderness, you and all the fish of your canals of the Nile;

You will fall on the open field; you will not be brought together or gathered.

I have given you for food to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the sky.
