Ezekiel 32:2

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.

4 Then ^aI will leave you on the land;
I will cast you out on the open fields,
^bAnd cause to¹ settle on you all the birds of the heavens.
And with you I will fill the beasts of the whole earth.

5 I will lay your flesh ^aon the mountains,
And fill the valleys with your carcass.

6 “I will also water the land with the flow of your blood,
Even to the mountains;
And the riverbeds will be full of you.

7 When I put out your light,
^aI will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark;
I will cover the sun with a cloud,
And the moon shall not give her light.

Ezekiel 32:3 >>

Like a young lion - Spoiling all thou canst. Crocodile - The crocodiles lay in the rivers, though sometimes they went down the river to the sea. With thy rivers - Raisedst mighty armies, and didst lead them out against thy neighbours. The waters - The people, and kings near thee. Thy feet - With thy soldiers. Fouledst - Didst spoil all the conveniences of thy neighbours.
