4. I am going to put a hook through your jaw and make the fish in your river stick fast to you. Then I will pull you up out of the Nile, with all the fish sticking to you.
5. I will throw you and all those fish into the desert. Your body will fall on the ground and be left unburied. I will give it to the birds and animals for food.
6. Then all the people of Egypt will know that I am the Lord.”The Lord says, “The Israelites relied on you Egyptians for support, but you were no better than a weak stick.
7. When they leaned on you, you broke, pierced their armpits, and made them wrench their backs.
8. Now then, I, the Sovereign Lord, am telling you that I will get troops to attack you with swords, and they will kill your people and your animals.
