Bible in Basic English
"Say to them, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, the great river-beast stretched out among his Nile streams, who has said, The Nile is mine, and I have made it for myself."
— Ezekiel 29:3, Bible in Basic English
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Son of man, let your face be turned against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and be a prophet against him and against all Egypt:
Say to them, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, the great river-beast stretched out among his Nile streams, who has said, The Nile is mine, and I have made it for myself.
And I will put hooks in your mouth, and the fish of your streams will be hanging from your skin; and I will make you come up out of your streams, with all the fish of your streams hanging from your skin.
And I will let you be in the waste land, you and all the fish of your streams: you will go down on the face of the land; you will not be taken up or put to rest in the earth; I have given you for food to the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven.
And it will be clear to all the people of Egypt that I am the Lord, because you have been a false support to the children of Israel.
