2 “Son of man, take up a lament concerning Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him:

“ ‘You are like a lion among the nations;

you are like a monster in the seas

thrashing about in your streams,

churning the water with your feet

and muddying the streams.

2 Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.

2 “Son of man, mourn for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and give him this message:

“You think of yourself as a strong young lion among the nations,

but you are really just a sea monster,

heaving around in your own rivers,

stirring up mud with your feet.

2 “Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him:

‘You are like a young lion among the nations,

And you are like a monster in the seas,

Bursting forth in your rivers,

Troubling the waters with your feet,

And fouling their rivers.’

2 “Human, sing a funeral song about the king of Egypt. Say to him:

‘You are like a young lion among the nations.

You are like a crocodile in the seas.

You splash around in your streams

and stir up the water with your feet,

making the rivers muddy.

2 Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou wast likened unto a young lion of the nations: yet art thou as a monster in the seas; and thou didst break forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.

2 “Son of man, sing a funeral song for Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Tell him,

and muddy the rivers.”

2 Mortal, raise a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him:

and you are like the sea monster in the seas,

and you thrash about in your rivers,

and you make water turbid with your feet,

and you make your rivers muddy.

2 “Son of man, sing a song of sadness about Pharaoh Hophra, the king of Egypt. Tell him,

You are like a monster in the sea.

You move around wildly in your rivers.

You churn the water with your feet.

You make the streams muddy.’ ”

Yet you are like the monster in the seas;

And you burst forth in your rivers

And muddied the waters with your feet

And fouled their rivers.’ ”
