Contextual Overview
1 On the twelfth day of the tenth month in the tenth year, the Word of the Lord came to me saying, 2 "Son of man, look toward Pharaoh king of Egypt, and speak against him and against all Egypt. 3 Tell them, ‘The Lord God says, "I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt. You are the big animal that lies in his rivers and says, ‘The Nile is mine. I made it.' 4 I will put hooks in your mouth. I will make the fish of your rivers stick to your hard skin. And I will pull you up out of your rivers, with the fish that stick to your hard skin. 5 Then I will leave you in the desert, you and all the fish of your rivers. You will fall on the open field, and not be gathered or buried. I will feed you to the wild animals of the earth and to the birds of the sky. 6 Then all the people of Egypt will know that I am the Lord. They have been only a weak piece of river grass to the people of Israel. 7 When they took hold of you with their hands, you broke and tore all their shoulders. When they rested on you, you broke and hurt their backs."
