“Son of man, take up a (A)lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him,

‘You [a]compared yourself to a young (B)lion of the nations,
Yet you are like the (C)monster in the seas;
And you (D)burst forth in your rivers
And muddied the waters with your feet
And [b]fouled their rivers.’”

Thus says the Lord [c]God,

“Now I will (E)spread My net over you
With a company of many peoples,
And they shall lift you up in My net.
“I will leave you on the land;
I will cast you on the [d]open field.
And I will cause all the (F)birds of the heavens to dwell on you,
And I will satisfy the beasts of the whole earth [e]with you.
