New American Standard Bible
Chapter 29
1In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.
3Speak and say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: 'Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, The great monster that lies in the midst of his canals, That has said, ‘My Nile is mine, and I myself have made it.’
4I will put hooks in your jaws And make the fish of your canals cling to your scales. And I will bring you up out of the midst of your canals, And all the fish of your canals will cling to your scales.
5I will abandon you to the wilderness, you and all the fish of your canals; You will fall on the open field; you will not be brought together or gathered. I have given you for food to the animals of the earth and to the birds of the sky.

Chapter 29
1On January 7, during the tenth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, this message came to me from the Lord: 2Son of man, turn and face Egypt and prophesy against Pharaoh the king and all the people of Egypt.
3Give them this message from the Sovereign Lord: 'I am your enemy, O Pharaoh, king of Egypt — you great monster, lurking in the streams of the Nile. For you have said, ‘The Nile River is mine; I made it for myself.’
4I will put hooks in your jaws and drag you out on the land with fish sticking to your scales.
5I will leave you and all your fish stranded in the wilderness to die. You will lie unburied on the open ground, for I have given you as food to the wild animals and birds.
