1. In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:
2. “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt;
3. speak, and say, Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you,Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that liesin the midst of his streams, that says, ‘My Nile is my own;I made it for myself.’
4. I will put hooks in your jaws,and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales;and I will draw you up out of the midst of your streams,with all the fish of your streamsthat stick to your scales.
