I will pull you up from among your rivers, and all the fish of your rivers will cling to your scales. 5 I will leave you in the desert—you and all the fish of your rivers. You will fall on the open fields, and you will not be gathered or buried. I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the heavens. 6 Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. 7 When they grasped you with their hands, you splintered and tore all their shoulders; and when they leaned on you, you broke, making their backs give way. 8 Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am bringing a sword against you, and I will cut off both man and beast from among you. 9 The land of Egypt will become a desolate waste. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
