Ezekiel 32:2-8

Common English Bible

You consider yourself a young lion among the nations,
    but you are like the sea monster!
You thrash about in your rivers,
    you roil the waters with your feet,
    and you muddy your^[a] rivers.

In the company of many peoples
    I will spread my net over you,
        and I will haul you up in my dragnet.
⁴ I will cast you out on the earth
    and throw you on the open ground.
    I will cause all the birds in the sky to settle on you,
    and all the beasts of the earth to devour you.
⁵ Your flesh I will set upon the mountains,
    and I will fill the valleys with your gore.
⁶ With your blood I will soak your irrigated land,^[b]
    and the streambeds will be filled with you.
⁷ When you are snuffed out, I will cover the sky,
    and I will darken the stars.
I will cover the sun with a cloud,
    and the moon won’t radiate its light.
⁸ As for the shining lights of the heavens,
    I will make them dark over you,
    and set darkness over your land.
This is what the Lord God says.
