Ezekiel 29:4-6
New English Translation

and stick the fish of your waterways to your scales.
I will haul you up from the midst of your waterways,

5 I will leave you in the wilderness,
you and all the fish of your waterways;
you will fall in the open field and will not be gathered up or collected.[a]
I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the skies.
6 Then all those living in Egypt will know that I am the Lord
because they were a reed staff[b] for the house of Israel;
