Ezekiel 32:1

Lamentation for Pharaoh and Egypt

1 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the ^atwelfth month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, ^atake up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him:
^b‘You are like a young lion among the nations,
And ^cyou are like a monster in the seas,
^dBursting forth in your rivers,
Troubling the waters with your feet,
And ^efouling their rivers.

3 ‘Thus says the Lord God:
“I will therefore ^aspread My net over you with a company of many people,
And they will draw you up in My net.
