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)
⁴I 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)

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.
⁴Then ^(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.
