Ezekiel 29:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵ I will fling you into the wilderness,
    you and all the fish of your channels;
you shall fall in the open field
    and not be gathered or picked up.
To the animals of the earth and to the birds of the air
    I have given you as food.^(A)
6 Then all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know
    that I am the Lord,
because you^[a] were a staff of reed
    to the house of Israel;^(B)
7 when they grasped you with the hand, you broke
    and tore all their shoulders,
and when they leaned on you, you broke
    and made all their legs give way.^[b](C)
