“Then all the people of Egypt will know that I am the LORD. For you were only a staff of reeds to the house of Israel.”
Ezekiel 29:6 (BSB)
Context Reading
4But I will put hooks in your jaws and cause the fish of your streams to cling to your scales. I will haul you up out of your rivers, and all the fish of your streams will 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 field and will not be taken away or gathered for burial. I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the air. 6Then all the people of Egypt will know that I am the LORD. For you were only a staff of reeds to the house of Israel. 7When Israel took hold of you with their hands, you splintered, tearing all their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke, and their backs were wrenched. 8Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will bring a sword against you and cut off from you man and beast.
