I will (A)abandon you to the wilderness, you and all the fish of your canals of the Nile;
You will fall on the [a]open field; you will not be brought together or [b](B)gathered.
I have given you for (C)food to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the sky.
Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh
Because they have been only a (D)staff made of reed to the house of Israel.
When they seized you with the hand,
You (E)tore and split open all their [c]shoulders;
And when they leaned on you,
You broke and made all their loins [d]quake.”
