Ezekiel 29:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ Then all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know
    that I am the Lord
because you^[a] were a staff of reed
    to the house of Israel;
⁷ when they grasped you with the hand, you broke,
    and tore all their shoulders;
and when they leaned on you, you broke,
    and made all their legs unsteady.^[b]
