        Pharaoh king of Egypt.

        snaking through the streams in the Nile,
        declaring, “I own the Nile. I made it, and it is mine.”

        and make the fish of the Nile cling to your scales.
    I will haul you in out of your waterways,
        with all the fish clinging to your scales.
