Ezekiel 29:3 in Context — Ezekiel 29

1 La dixième année, le douzième jour du dixième mois, la parole de l’Éternel me fut adressée, en ces mots:

2 Fils de l’homme, tourne ta face vers Pharaon, roi d’Égypte, Et prophétise contre lui et contre toute l’Égypte!

3 Parle, et tu diras: Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Voici, j’en veux à toi, Pharaon, roi d’Égypte, Grand crocodile, qui te couches au milieu de tes fleuves, Et qui dis: Mon fleuve est à moi, c’est moi qui l’ai fait!

4 Je mettrai une boucle à tes mâchoires, J’attacherai à tes écailles les poissons de tes fleuves, Et je te tirerai du milieu de tes fleuves, Avec tous les poissons qui s’y trouvent Et qui seront attachés à tes écailles.

5 Je te jetterai dans le désert, Toi et tous les poissons de tes fleuves. Tu tomberas sur la face des champs, Tu ne seras ni relevé ni ramassé; Aux bêtes de la terre et aux oiseaux du ciel Je te donnerai pour pâture.
