1 On the twelfth day of the tenth month in the tenth year, the Lord spoke his word to me. He said,
2 “Son of man, turn to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.
3 Tell him, ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says:I’m against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt.You are like a monster crocodile lying in the Nile River.You say, “The Nile River is mine. I made it for myself.”
4 “‘I will put hooks in your jawsand make the fish in the Nile River stick to your scales.I will pull you out of your riverwith all the fish in the Nile sticking to your scales.
