And I will fling you to the desert,
    you and all the fish of your Nile streams.
On the surface of the field you will fall;
    you will not be gathered,
    and you will not be assembled.
To the animals[a] of the field
    and to the birds[b] of the heavens
    I will give you as food.
And all of the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh,
    because of their[c] being a staff of reed for the house of Israel.
When they took hold of you with the hand, you snapped,
    and you split their every shoulder.
And when they leaned on you, you broke,
    and you caused all of their loins to wobble.”
