Djed-chet-neb-iret-nes , in English " Who says something that (you) will (then immediately) do for you", was an ancient Egyptian power title reserved for queens .

The title is first attested in the transition period from the 2nd to the 3rd dynasty under Queen Nimaathapi , the wife of King ( Pharaoh ) Chasechemui . Only three other queens of the Old Kingdom carried this title of power: Hetepheres I , Inetkaes II and Meritites I. It was only given to main wives and queen mothers and granted the bearers special privileges .
