“You consider yourself a lion among the nations,
    but you are like a dragon in the seas;
you burst forth in your rivers,
    trouble the waters with your feet,
    and foul their rivers.
³ Thus says the Lord God:
    I will throw my net over you
    with a host of many peoples;
    and I^[a] will haul you up in my dragnet.
⁴ And I will cast you on the ground,
    on the open field I will fling you,
and will cause all the birds of the air to settle on you,
    and I will gorge the beasts of the whole earth with you.
⁵ I will strew your flesh upon the mountains,
    and fill the valleys with your carcass.^[b]
6 I will drench the land even to the mountains
    with your flowing blood;
    and the watercourses will be full of you.
⁷ When I blot you out, 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 put darkness upon your land,
                says the Lord God.

“They shall bring to nought the pride of Egypt,
    and all its multitude shall perish.
¹³ I will destroy all its beasts
    from beside many waters;
and no foot of man shall trouble them any more,
    nor shall the hoofs of beasts trouble them.
¹⁴ Then I will make their waters clear,
    and cause their rivers to run like oil,
                says the Lord God.
¹⁵ When I make the land of Egypt desolate
    and when the land is stripped of all that fills it,
when I smite all who dwell in it,
    then they will know that I am the Lord.
