Contextual Overview
1In 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, face Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all of Egypt. 3Speak to him and say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: 4I will put hooks in your jawsand make the fish of your streamscling to your scales.I will haul you upfrom the middle of your Nile,and all the fish of your streamswill cling to your scales. 5I will leave you in the desert,you and all the fish of your streams.You will fall on the open groundand will not be taken awayor gathered for burial.I have given youto the wild creatures of the earthand the birds of the sky as food. 6“‘Then all the inhabitants of Egyptwill know that I am the Lord,for they have been a staff made of reedto the house of Israel. 7When Israel grasped you by the hand,you splintered, tearing all their shoulders;when they leaned on you,you shattered and made all their hips unsteady.
