Ezekiel 17:6

So it became a vine; it produced shoots and sent out branches.

Ezekiel 17:14

Ezekiel 30:13

30:13 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says:

I will destroy the idols,

and put an end to the gods of Memphis.

There will no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt;

so I will make the land of Egypt fearful. ⁴ 

Zechariah 10:11

10:11 The Lord ⁵  will cross the sea of storms and will calm its turbulence. The depths of the Nile will dry up, the pride of Assyria will be humbled, and the domination ⁶  of Egypt will be no more.

¹ tn Heb “short of stature.”

² tn That is, the eagle.

³ tn Or “him,” i.e., the eagle.

⁴ tn Heb “I will put fear in the land of Egypt.”

⁵ tn Heb “he,” in which case the referent is the Lord. This reading is followed by KJV, ASV, NAB (which renders it as first person), and NASB. The LXX reads “they,” referring to the Israelites themselves, a reading followed by many modern English versions (e.g., NIV, NRSV, TEV, NLT).

⁶ tn Heb “scepter,” referring by metonymy to the dominating rule of Egypt (cf. NLT).
