Ezekiel 29:6-8
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.
