Ezekiel 29:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵Then 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.
⁷When they reached out to you for support,
    you tore their hands
        and dislocated all of their shoulders.
When they tried to lean on you,
    they couldn’t control their own bowels.’^[b]
