He will bring it to complete destruction;
oppression will not rise up a second time.

and to put a bridle on the jaws of the peoples
to lead them astray.

or else it will not come near you.

and make the fish of your streams
cling to your scales.
I will haul you up
from the middle of your Nile,
and all the fish of your streams
will cling to your scales.

Look, the days are coming
when you will be taken away with hooks,
every last one of you with fishhooks.
