Yahweh's Judgment Upon Egypt

I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the skies. 6 Then all those living in Egypt will know that I am the Lord because they were a reed staff for the house of Israel; 7 when they grasped you with their hand, you broke and tore their shoulders, and when they leaned on you, you splintered and caused their legs to be unsteady.
