Ezekiel 29:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord: because thou hast been a staff of a reed to the house of Israel.

⁷ When they took hold of thee with the hand thou didst break, and rent all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brokest, and weakenest all their loins.

⁸ Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will bring the sword upon thee: and cut off man and beast out of thee.
