1. In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying:
2. Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt.
3. Speak and say, Thus hath the Lord GOD said: Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, who has said, My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.
