Ezekiel 29:1-5
1599 Geneva Bible
29 He prophesieth against Pharaoh and Egypt. 13 The Lord promiseth that he will restore Egypt after forty years. 18 Egypt is the reward of King Nebuchadnezzar for the labor which he took against Tyre.
1 In the [a]tenth year and in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt.
3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I come against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great [b]dragon, that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it for myself.
4 But I will put [c]hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will draw thee out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.
5 And I will leave thee in the wilderness, both thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open field: thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: for I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field, and to the fowls of heaven.
