Ezekiel 32:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Lamentation over Pharaoh and Egypt

32 In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me: ²Mortal, 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^[a] streams.
³Thus says the Lord God:
    In an assembly of many peoples
    I will throw my net over you;
    and I^[b] will haul you up in my dragnet.
