in the shelter of the reeds and in the marsh.

and the branches of Egypt’s Nile will diminish and dry up,
reeds and rushes will rot away.
3 speak, and say, Thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, I am against you,
Pharaoh king of Egypt,
the great cdragon that lies
in the midst of his streams,
that says, ‘My Nile is my own;
I made it for myself.’
4 I will put dhooks in your jaws,
and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales;
and I will draw you up out of the midst of your streams,
with all the fish of your streams
that stick to your scales.
2 “Son of man, raise a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him:
“You consider yourself a lion of the nations,
but you are like a pdragon in the seas;
you burst forth in your rivers,
trouble the waters with your feet,
and foul their rivers.
