1 In the tenth year, on the twelfth day of the tenth month, the word of the Lord came to me:
2 Son of man, turn your face toward Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.
3 Say to him: Thus says the Lord God:Pay attention! I am against you,Pharaoh, king of Egypt,Great dragon crouchingin the midst of the Nile,Who says, “The Nile belongs to me;I made it myself!”
4 I will put hooks in your jawsand make all the fish of your NileCling to your scales;I will drag you up from your Nile,With all the fish of your Nileclinging to your scales.
