Ezekiel 32:1-7 ▼

1 In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, “Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

2 ‘Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and tell him, “You were likened to a young lion of the nations; yet you are as a monster in the seas. You broke out with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and fouled their rivers.”

3 The Lord Yahweh says: “I will spread out my net on you with a company of many peoples. They will bring you up in my net.

4 I will leave you on the land. I will cast you out on the open field, and will cause all the birds of the sky to settle on you. I will satisfy the animals of the whole earth with you.

5 I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.

6 I will also water the land in which you swim with your blood, even to the mountains. The watercourses will be full of you.

7 When I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and make its stars dark. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon won’t give its light.
