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, turn your face toward Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all of Egypt.
3. Speak to him and say: This is what the Lord God says:Look, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt,the great monster lying in the middle of his Nile,who says, ‘My Nile is my own;I made it for myself.’
