Ezekiel 32:1-3
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 32
Lament over Pharaoh. 1 On the first day of the twelfth month in the twelfth year,[a] the word of the Lord came to me: 2 Son of man, utter a lament over Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and say to him:
You liken yourself to a lion among nations,
but you are like the monster in the sea!
Thrashing about in your streams,
churning the water with your feet,
polluting the streams.(A)
3 Thus says the Lord God:
I will cast my net over you
by assembling many armies,
and I will hoist you up in my mesh.
