I will leave you in the desert,(A)
you and all the fish of your streams.
You will fall on the open ground
and will not be taken away
or gathered for burial.(B)

to the wild creatures of the earth
and the birds of the sky as food.(C)

“‘Then all the inhabitants of Egypt
will know that I am the Lord,

When Israel grasped you by the hand,
you splintered,(D) tearing all their shoulders;
when they leaned on you,
you shattered and made all their hips unsteady.[b]
