Ezekiel 29:6-8
Authorized (King James) Version
6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord,
because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand,
thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder:
and when they leaned upon thee,
thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.
