Ezekiel 32:2-4
Christian Standard Bible
2 “Son of man, lament(A) for Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him,
‘You compare yourself to a lion of the nations,
but[a] you are like a monster[b](B) in the seas.
You thrash about in your rivers,
churn up the waters with your feet,
and muddy the[c] rivers.
3 “‘This is what the Lord God says:
I will spread my net over you(C)
with an assembly of many peoples,
and they[d] will haul you up in my net.
4 I will abandon you on the land
and throw you onto the open field.
I will cause all the birds of the sky
to settle on you
and let the wild creatures of the entire earth
eat their fill of you.(D)

2 “Son of man, (A)take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him:
(B)‘You are like a young lion among the nations,
And (C)you are like a monster in the seas,
(D)Bursting forth in your rivers,
Troubling the waters with your feet,
And (E)fouling their rivers.
3 ‘Thus says the Lord God:
“I will therefore (F)spread My net over you with a company of many people,
And they will draw you up in My net.
4 Then (G)I will leave you on the land;
I will cast you out on the open fields,
(H)And cause to [a]settle on you all the birds of the heavens.
And with you I will fill the beasts of the whole earth.
