Ezekiel 32:1-10
In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month,
the word of the LORD came to me: Mortal, raise a lamentation over Pharaoh
king of Egypt, and say to him:
You consider yourself a lion among the nations,
but you are like a dragon in the seas;
you thrash about in your streams,
trouble the water with your feet,
and foul your streams.
Thus says the LORD GOD:
In an assembly of many peoples
I will throw my net over you;
and I will haul you up in my dragnet.
I will throw 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 let the wild animals of the whole earth gorge themselves with
you.
I will strew your flesh on the mountains,
and fill the valleys with your carcass.
I will drench the land with your flowing blood
up to the mountains,
and the watercourses will be filled with you.
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.
All the shining lights of the heavens
I will darken above you,
and put darkness on your land,
says the LORD GOD.
I will trouble the hearts of many peoples,
as I carry you captive among the nations,
into countries you have not known.
I will make many peoples appalled at you;
their kings shall shudder because of you.
When I brandish my sword before them,
they shall tremble every moment
for their lives, each one of them,
on the day of your downfall.
