29In the atenth 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 aPharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all bEgypt. 3“Speak and say, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt,The great 1,amonster that lies in the midst of his canals of the Nile,That bhas said, ‘My Nile is mine, and I myself have made it.’
4“I will put ahooks in your jawsAnd 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.5“I will aabandon you to the wilderness, you and all the fish of your canals of the Nile;You will fall on the 1open field; you will not be brought together or 2,bgathered.I have given you for cfood to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the sky.
