“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) in the seas.
You thrash about in your rivers,
churn up the waters with your feet,
and muddy the[b] rivers.”

This is what the Lord God says:

I will spread My net over you(C)
with an assembly of many peoples,
and they[c] will haul you up in My net.
I will abandon you on the land
and hurl you on the open field.
I will cause all the birds of the sky
to settle on you
and let the beasts of the entire earth
eat their fill of you.(D)
