Jeremiah 46:17
English Standard Version
17 Call the name of (A)Pharaoh, king of Egypt,
‘Noisy one who lets the hour go by.’
Isaiah 19:11-16
English Standard Version
11 The princes of (A)Zoan are utterly foolish;
the wisest counselors of Pharaoh give stupid counsel.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
“I am a son of the wise,
a son of ancient kings”?
12 Where then are your (B)wise men?
Let them tell you
that they might know what the Lord of hosts has purposed against Egypt.
13 The princes of (C)Zoan have become fools,
and the princes of (D)Memphis are deluded;
those who are the (E)cornerstones of her tribes
have made Egypt stagger.
14 The Lord has mingled within her (F)a spirit of confusion,
and they will make Egypt stagger in all its deeds,
(G)as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
15 And there will be nothing for Egypt
that (H)head or tail, palm branch or reed, may do.
Egypt, Assyria, Israel Blessed
16 In that day the Egyptians will be (I)like women, and (J)tremble with fear before the hand that the Lord of hosts shakes over them.

Ezekiel 29:3
English Standard Version
3 speak, and say, Thus says the Lord God:
(A)“Behold, I am against you,
Pharaoh king of Egypt,
(B)the great dragon that lies
in the midst of his streams,
(C)that says, ‘My Nile is my own;
I made it for myself.’

English Standard Version
27 while their inhabitants, shorn of strength,
are dismayed and confounded,
and have become like plants of the field
and like tender grass,
like grass on the housetops,
blighted[a] before it is grown.
28 “‘I know your sitting down
and your going out and coming in,
and your raging against me.
29 (A)Because you have raged against me
and your complacency has come to my ears,
I will put my hook in your nose
and my bit in your mouth,
and (B)I will turn you back on the way
by which you came.’
