Ezekiel 29:3-5
New American Standard Bible
3 Speak and say, ‘This is what the Lord [a]God says:
“Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt,
The great [b](A)monster that lies in the midst of his [c]canals,
That (B)has said, ‘My Nile is mine, and I myself have made it.’
4 I will put (C)hooks in your jaws
And make the fish of your [d]canals cling to your scales.
And I will bring you up out of the midst of your [e]canals,
And all the fish of your [f]canals will cling to your scales.
5 I will (D)abandon you to the wilderness, you and all the fish of your [g]canals;
You will fall on the [h]open field; you will not be brought together or [i](E)gathered.
I have given you for (F)food to the animals of the earth and to the birds of the sky.

3 Speak to him and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘I am against you, Pharaoh(A) king of Egypt,
you great monster(B) lying among your streams.
You say, “The Nile(C) belongs to me;
I made it for myself.”

and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales.
I will pull you out from among your streams,
with all the fish sticking to your scales.(E)

you and all the fish of your streams.
You will fall on the open field
