Ezekiel 29:2-4

New International Reader's Version

“ ‘ “Pharaoh Hophra, I am against you.
    King of Egypt, you are like a huge monster
    lying among your streams.
You say, ‘The Nile River belongs to me.
    I made it for myself.’
⁴ But I will put hooks in your jaws.
    I will make the fish in your streams
    stick to your scales.
I will pull you out from among your streams.
    All the fish will stick to your scales.
