2 fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra Pharaonem regem Aegypti et prophetabis de eo et de Aegypto universa

3 loquere et dices haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego ad te Pharao rex Aegypti draco magne qui cubas in medio fluminum tuorum et dicis meus est fluvius et ego feci memet ipsum

4 et ponam frenum in maxillis tuis et adglutinabo pisces fluminum tuorum squamis tuis et extraham te de medio fluminum tuorum et universi pisces tui squamis tuis adherebunt

5 et proiciam te in desertum et omnes pisces fluminis tui super faciem terrae cades non colligeris neque congregaberis bestiis terrae et volatilibus caeli dedi te ad devorandum
