and against all Egypt:
3 Speak, and say,
Thus saith the Lord God;
Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt,
the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers,
which hath said, My river is mine own,
and I have made it for myself.
4 But I will put hooks in thy jaws,
and I will cause the fish of thy rivers
to stick unto thy scales,
and I will bring thee up
out of the midst of thy rivers,
and all the fish of thy rivers
shall stick unto thy scales.
5 And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness,
thee and all the fish of thy rivers:
thou shalt fall upon the open fields;
thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered:
I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field
and to the fowls of the heaven.
6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know
that I am the Lord,
because they have been a staff of reed
to the house of Israel.

for the dragons of the wilderness.

The Lord will be magnified
from the border of Israel.

the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth,
and compassed the camp of the saints about,
and the beloved city:
and fire came down from God out of heaven,
and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them
was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone,
where the beast and the false prophet are,
and shall be tormented day and night
for ever and ever.
