Ezekiel 32:2-10
English Standard Version
2 (A)“Son of man, (B)raise a lamentation over (C)Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him:
“You consider yourself (D)a lion of the nations,
but you are like (E)a dragon (F)in the seas;
(G)you burst forth in your rivers,
trouble the waters with your feet,
and foul their rivers.
3 Thus says the Lord God:
(H)I will throw my net over you
with a host of (I)many peoples,
and (J)they will haul you up in my dragnet.
4 And (K)I will cast you on the ground;
on the open field I will fling you,
and will cause all the birds of the heavens to settle on you,
and I will gorge the beasts of the whole earth with you.
5 I will strew your flesh (L)upon the mountains
and fill the valleys with your carcass.[a]
6 I will drench the land even to the mountains
with your flowing blood,
and the ravines will be full of you.
7 (M)When I blot you out, (N)I will cover the heavens
and make their stars dark;
I will cover the sun with a cloud,
and the moon shall not give its light.
8 All the bright lights of heaven
will I make dark over you,
and (O)put darkness on your land,
declares the Lord God.
9 “I will trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries that you have not known. 10 (P)I will make many peoples appalled at you, and the hair of their kings shall bristle with horror because of you, when (Q)I brandish my sword before them. (R)They shall tremble every moment, every one for his own life, on the day of your downfall.

“‘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,

when I bring about your destruction among the nations,
among[a] lands you have not known.

and their kings will shudder with horror because of you
when I brandish my sword(N) before them.
On the day(O) of your downfall
each of them will tremble
every moment for his life.(P)
