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

‘You liken 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 [a]fouled their rivers.’”

Thus says Lord Yahweh,

“So I will (E)spread My net over you
With an assembly of many peoples,
And they shall bring you up in My net.
I will abandon you on the land;
I will hurl you on the [b]open field.
And I will cause all the (F)birds of the sky to dwell on you,
And I will satisfy the beasts of the whole earth [c]with you.
