But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 29 of Ezekiel. Egypt is compared with a great monster lying in its rivers and claiming to have made them for itself. The image condemns the pride of a power attributing to itself dominion that ultimately belongs to God. Judgment begins by exposing this false self-sufficiency.

Aber ich will dir ein Gebiß ins Maul legen, und die Fische in deinen Wassern an deine Schuppen hängen und will dich aus deinem Strom herausziehen samt allen Fischen in deinen Wassern, die an deinen Schuppen hangen.
Yo pues, pondré anzuelos en tus mejillas, y pegaré los peces de tus ríos a tus escamas, y te sacaré de en medio de tus ríos, y todos los peces de tus ríos saldrán pegados a tus escamas.
Pondré garfios en tus mandíbulas y haré que los peces de tus ríos se peguen a tus escamas. Te sacaré de en medio de tus ríos y todos los peces de tus ríos quedarán pegados a tus escamas.
Je mettrai une boucle à tes mâchoires, J'attacherai à tes écailles les poissons de tes fleuves, Et je te tirerai du milieu de tes fleuves, Avec tous les poissons qui s'y trouvent Et qui seront attachés à tes écailles.
E ti metterò de’ graffi nelle mascelle, e farò che il pesce de’ tuoi fiumi si attaccherà alle tue scaglie, e ti trarrò fuor di mezzo de’ tuoi fiumi, e tutto il pesce de’ tuoi fiumi resterà attaccato alle tue scaglie.
Mas eu porei anzóis em teus queixos, e farei que os peixes dos teus rios se apeguem às tuas escamas; e tirar-te-ei do meio dos teus rios, e todos os peixes dos teus rios se apegarem às tuas escamas.
我必用鉤子鉤住你的腮頰, 令江河中的魚貼住你的鱗甲; 我要把你和所有貼著鱗甲的魚 從你的江河中拉上來。
