“You consider yourself ^(E)a lion of the nations,
    but you are like ^(F)a dragon ^(G)in the seas;
^(H)you burst forth in your rivers,
    trouble the waters with your feet,
    and foul their rivers.
³ Thus says the Lord God:
    ^(I)I will throw my net over you
    with a host of ^(J)many peoples,
    and ^(K)they will haul you up in my dragnet.
⁴ And ^(L)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 ^(M)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 (N)When I blot you out, ^(O)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 ^(P)put darkness on your land,
declares the Lord God.

^(W)“They shall bring to ruin the pride of Egypt,
    and all its multitude^[b] shall perish.
¹³ I will destroy all its beasts
    from beside many waters;
^(X)and no foot of man shall trouble them anymore,
    nor shall the hoofs of beasts trouble them.
¹⁴ Then ^(Y)I will make their waters clear,
    and cause their rivers to run like oil,
declares the Lord God.
¹⁵ When I make the land of Egypt desolate,
    and when the land ^(Z)is desolate of all that fills it,
when I strike down all who dwell in it,
    then ^(AA)they will know that I am the Lord.
