Ezekiel 29:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ Then all the people who live in Egypt will know that I am the Lord.

“‘·Israel tried to lean on you for help, but you were like a crutch made out of a weak stalk of grass [^LBecause you were a reed staff for the house of Israel…; Is. 36:6]. ⁷ When their hands grabbed you, you ·splintered [broke] and tore open their shoulders. When they leaned on you, you ·broke [splintered] and made all their ·backs twist [or legs go wobbly; or loins shake].

⁸ “‘So this is what the Lord God says: I will ·cause an enemy to attack [^Lbring a sword against] you and kill your people and animals.
