Ezekiel 29:3-5

New King James Version

^(A)“Behold, I am against you,
O Pharaoh king of Egypt,
O great ^(B)monster who lies in the midst of his rivers,
^(C)Who has said, ‘My ^[a]River is my own;
I have made it for myself.’
⁴ But ^(D)I will put hooks in your jaws,
And cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales;
I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers,
And all the fish in your rivers will stick to your scales.
⁵ I will leave you in the wilderness,
You and all the fish of your rivers;
You shall fall on the ^[b]open ^(E)field;
^(F)You shall not be picked up or ^[c]gathered.
^(G)I have given you as food
To the beasts of the field
And to the birds of the heavens.
