NASB — Ezekiel 29 — KJV

Judgment of Egypt

1 In the atenth° year°, in the tenth° [month], on the twelfth°° of the month°, the word° of the LORD° came° to me saying°, 2 “Son° of man°, set° your face° against° aPharaoh° king° of Egypt° and prophesy° against° him and against° all° bEgypt°. 3 Speak° and say°, ‘Thus° says° the Lord° IGOD°,
  “Behold°, I am against° you, Pharaoh° king° of Egypt°,
  The great° IIamonster° that lies° in the midst° of his IIIrivers°,
  That bhas said°, ‘My Nile° is mine, and I myself° have made° [it].’
  4 “I will put° ahooks° in your jaws°
  And make the fish° of your Irivers° cling° to your scales°.
  And I will bring° you up out of the midst° of your Irivers°,
  And all° the fish° of your Irivers° will cling° to your scales°.
  5 “I will aabandon° you to the wilderness°, you and all° the fish° of your Irivers°;
  You will fall° on the IIopen° field°; you will not be brought° together° or IIIbgathered°.
  I have given° you for cfood° to the beasts° of the earth° and to the birds° of the sky°.
  6 “Then all° the inhabitants° of Egypt° will know° that I am the LORD°,
  Because° they have been° [only] a astaff° [made] of reed° to the house° of Israel°.
  7 “When they took° hold° of you with the hand°,
  You abroke° and tore° all° their Ihands°;
  And when they leaned° on you,
  You broke° and made all° their loins° IIquake°.”

The judgment of Pharaoh for his treachery to Israel.

1 ¶ In the tenthº year,º in the tenthº [month], in the twelfthºº [day] of the month,º the wordº of the LORDº came² unto² me, saying,ºª 2 Sonº of man,º setºª thy faceº against² Pharaohº kingº of Egypt,º and prophesyºª against² him, and against² all² Egypt:º 3 Speak,ºª and say,ºª Thus² saithºª the Lordº GOD;º Behold,² I [am] against² thee, Pharaohº kingº of Egypt,º the greatº dragonº that liethºª in the midstº of his rivers,º which² hath said,ºª My riverº [is] mine own, and I² have madeºª [it] for myself. 4 But I will putºª hooksºª in thy jaws,º and I will cause the fishº of thy riversº to stickºª unto thy scales,º and I will bring thee upºª out of the midstº² of thy rivers,º and all² the fishº of thy riversº shall stickºª unto thy scales.º 5 And I will leaveºª thee [thrown] into the wilderness,º thee and all² the fishº of thy rivers:º thou shalt fallºª upon² the openº fields;º thou shalt not² be brought together,ºª nor² gathered:ºª I have givenºª thee for meatº to the beastsº of the fieldº and to the fowlsº of the heaven.º 6 And all² the inhabitantsºª of Egyptº shall knowºª that² I² [am] the LORD,º because² they have been² a staffº of reedº to the houseº of Israel.º 7 When they took holdºª of thee by thy hand,º thou didst break,ºª and rendºª all² their shoulder:º and when they leanedºª upon² thee, thou brakest,ºª and madest all² their loinsº to be at a stand.ºª
