Ezekiel 29:4-6
International Standard Version
4 ‘So I’m going to plant a hook in your jaw
and make the fish in your waterways grab hold of your scales.
I’ll bring you up out of the middle of your waterways,
along with all of the fish from your waterways that cling to your scales,
5 Then I’ll fling you out into the desert,
you and all those fish in your waterways.
You’ll fall out in the open fields;
you’ll never be reunited.
I’m giving you to the wild beasts of the earth
and to the birds of the sky,
and they will dine on you!
6 ‘Then everyone living in Egypt
will know that I am the Lord,
because they have been an unreliable ally[a]
to the house of Israel.
