And cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales;
I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers,
And all the fish in your rivers will stick to your scales.
You and all the fish of your rivers;
You shall fall on the1 open afield;
bYou shall not be picked up or1 gathered.
cI have given you as food
To the beasts of the field
And to the birds of the heavens.
Shall know that I am the Lord,
Because they have been a astaff of reed to the house of Israel.
You broke and tore all their1 shoulders;
When they leaned on you,
You broke and made all their backs quiver.”
