1. In the tenth year, in the tenth month on the twelfth day, 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 to him and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “ ‘I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, you great monster lying among your streams. You say, “The Nile belongs to me; I made it for myself.”
4. But I will put hooks in your jaws and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales. I will pull you out from among your streams, with all the fish sticking to your scales.
