Ezekiel 29:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 But I will put [a]hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will draw thee out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.
5 And I will leave thee in the wilderness, both thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open field: thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: for I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field, and to the fowls of heaven.
6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because they have been a staff of [b]reed to the house of Israel.
