A Lament for Pharaoh

In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 32:2 -

“Son of man, lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him,

‘You compare yourself to a lion of the nations,

but[fn] you are like a monster[fn] in the seas.

You thrash about in your rivers,

churn up the waters with your feet,

and muddy the[fn] rivers.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 32:3 -

I will spread my net over you

with an assembly of many peoples,

and they[fn] will haul you up in my net.

“I will abandon you on the land

and throw you onto the open field.

to settle on you

and let the wild creatures of the entire earth

eat their fill of you.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 32:5 -

each of them will tremble

every moment for his life.

The sword of Babylon’s king

they prepare a bed for Elam

with all her hordes.

Her graves are all around her.
