Ezekiel 29:2-4

Contemporary English Version

² Ezekiel, son of man, condemn the king of Egypt. Tell him and his people ³ that I am saying:

King of Egypt, you were like a giant crocodile lying in a river. You acted as though you owned the Nile and made it for yourself. But now I, the Lord God, am your enemy! ⁴ I will put a hook in your jaw and pull you out of the water, and all the fish in your river will stick to your scaly body.^[a]
