Ezekiel 32:2-8
New King James Version
2 “Son of man, (A)take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him:
(B)‘You are like a young lion among the nations,
And (C)you are like a monster in the seas,
(D)Bursting forth in your rivers,
Troubling the waters with your feet,
And (E)fouling their rivers.
3 ‘Thus says the Lord God:
“I will therefore (F)spread My net over you with a company of many people,
And they will draw you up in My net.
4 Then (G)I will leave you on the land;
I will cast you out on the open fields,
(H)And cause to [a]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 (I)on 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,
(J)I 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.
8 All the [b]bright lights of the heavens I will make dark over you,
And bring darkness upon your land,”
Says the Lord God.

New International Version
2 “Son of man, take up a lament(A) concerning Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him:
“‘You are like a lion(B) among the nations;
you are like a monster(C) in the seas(D)
thrashing about in your streams,
churning the water with your feet
and muddying the streams.(E)
3 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘With a great throng of people
I will cast my net over you,
and they will haul you up in my net.(F)
4 I will throw you on the land
and hurl you on the open field.
I will let all the birds of the sky settle on you
and all the animals of the wild gorge themselves on you.(G)
5 I will spread your flesh on the mountains
and fill the valleys(H) with your remains.
6 I will drench the land with your flowing blood(I)
all the way to the mountains,
and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.(J)
7 When I snuff you out, I will cover the heavens
and darken their stars;
I will cover the sun with a cloud,
and the moon will not give its light.(K)
8 All the shining lights in the heavens
I will darken(L) over you;
I will bring darkness over your land,(M)
declares the Sovereign Lord.
