1. In the tenth year, the tenth month, the eleventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2. Son of man, set thy face against Pharao king of Egypt: and thou shalt prophesy of him, and of all Egypt:
3. Speak, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against thee, Pharao king of Egypt, thou great dragon that liest in the midst of thy rivers, and sayest: The river is mine, and I made myself.
4. But I will put a bridle in thy jaws: and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick to thy scales: and I will draw thee out of the midst of thy rivers, and all thy fish shall stick to thy scales.
