Eternal One: Son of man, sing a lament over Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Tell him,

    You imagine yourself a lion moving mightily through the nations,
        but you’re really like the great sea monster
    Rampaging through the waterways—muddying up the streams
        and fouling the rivers with your feet.

    So I, the Eternal One, say:
        I will use a company of many people to cover you with My net
    Using the nations to make the trap.
        Once you are caught, they will haul you up in My net.
    I will leave you on dry land
        and cast you in an open field.
    I will summon the birds of the sky to land on you and feast on your flesh.
        I will bring the wild beasts of the earth to satisfy their hunger with you.
