Ezekiel 29:8

Read in context

Ezekiel 29:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 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.

7 When 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.

8 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will bring a sword against you and cut off from you man and beast.

9 The land of Egypt will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because you said, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it,’

10 therefore I am against you and against your rivers. I will turn the land of Egypt into a ruin, a desolate wasteland from Migdol to Syene, and as far as the border of Cush.
