Ezekiel 29:6-8

Good News Translation

^6 (A)Then all the people of Egypt will know that I am the Lord.”

The Lord says, “The Israelites relied on you Egyptians for support, but you were no better than a weak stick. ⁷ When they leaned on you, you broke, pierced their armpits, and made them wrench their backs.^{[a] 8} Now then, I, the Sovereign Lord, am telling you that I will have troops attack you with swords, and they will kill your people and your animals.
