A Prophecy Against Egypt In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the LORD’s message came to me:
“Son of man, turn toward Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.
Tell them,‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says:“‘Look, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster lying in the midst of its waterways, who has said,“My Nile is my own, I made it for myself.”
I will put hooks in your jaws and stick the fish of your waterways to your scales. I will haul you up from the midst of your waterways, and all the fish of your waterways will stick to your scales.
I will leave you in the wilderness, you and all the fish of your waterways; you will fall in the open field and will not be gathered up or collected. I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the skies.
Then all those living in Egypt will know that I am the LORD because they were a reed staff for the house of Israel;
when they grasped you with their hand, you broke and tore their shoulders, and when they leaned on you, you splintered and caused their legs to be unsteady.
