“Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt,
The great [b](C)monster that lies in the midst of his [c]rivers,
That (D)has said, ‘My Nile is mine, and I myself have made it.’
“I will put (E)hooks in your jaws
And make the fish of your [d]rivers cling to your scales.
And I will bring you up out of the midst of your [e]rivers,
And all the fish of your [f]rivers will cling to your scales.
