Ezekiel 29

A prophecy against Pharaoh, King of Egypt. God compares Pharaoh to a great monster (or crocodile) lying in the midst of the Nile rivers, boasting, "My River is my own; I have made it for myself." God promises to put hooks in Pharaoh's jaws, drag him out, and leave him and his army to fall in the wilderness, becoming food for the beasts. God promises to make the land of Egypt desolate for forty years. The chapter concludes with a promise that the power of the Davidic line will be restored.
