Ezekiel 32:1-4 ▼

1 In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:

2 |Son of man, sing a lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him: |'You were like a lion among the nations, but you are a monster in the seas; you thrash about in your streams, stir up the water with your feet, and muddy your streams.

3 |'This is what the sovereign LORD says: |'I will throw my net over you in the assembly of many peoples; and they will haul you up in my dragnet.

4 I will leave you on the ground, I will fling you on the open field, I will allow all the birds of the sky to settle on you, and I will permit all the wild animals to gorge themselves on you.
