Ezekiel 29:6-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 Then all the inhabitants of Egypt
will know that I am Yahweh,
for they[a] have been a staff made of reed
to the house of Israel.
7 When Israel grasped you by the hand,
you splintered,(A) tearing all their shoulders;
when they leaned on you,
you shattered and made all their hips unsteady.[b]
8 “Therefore this is what the Lord God says: I am going to bring a sword(B) against you and wipe out man and animal from you.

Lexham English Bible
6 And all of the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh,
because of their[a] being a staff of reed for the house of Israel.
7 When they took hold of you with the hand, you snapped,
and you split their every shoulder.
And when they leaned on you, you broke,
and you caused all of their loins to wobble.”
8 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am bringing on you a sword, and I will cut off from you human and animal.
