Ezekiel 32:2–16

²Son of man, ^atake up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like ^ba young lion of the nations, and thou art as a ^||whale in ^cthe seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and ^dtroubledst the waters with thy feet, and ^efouledst their rivers. ³Thus saith the Lord God; I will therefore ^eespread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my ^fnet. ⁴Then ^gwill I leave thee upon the land, ^gI will cast thee forth upon the open field, and ^hwill cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee. ⁵And I will lay thy flesh ⁱupon the mountains, and fill ⁱthe valleys with thy height. ⁶I will also water with thy blood ^||the land wherein thou swimmest, even ⁱto the mountains; and ⁱthe rivers shall be full of thee. ⁷And when I shall ^||put thee out, ^kI will cover the heaven, and ^lmake the stars thereof dark; ^kI will cover the sun with a cloud, and ^kthe moon shall not give her light. ⁸All the ^†bright lights of heaven will I ^lmake ^†dark over thee, and ⁿset darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord God. ⁹I will also ^†vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy ^odestruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known. ¹⁰Yea, I will ^pmake many people amazed at thee, and ^ptheir kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and ^qthey shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, ^rin the day of thy fall.

¹¹For thus saith the Lord God; ^sThe sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee. ¹²By the swords of the mighty will I cause ^tthy multitude to fall, ^uthe terrible of the nations, all of them: and ^vthey shall spoil the pomp of Egypt, and all ^tthe multitude thereof shall be destroyed. ¹³I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters; ^wneither shall the foot of man ^dtrouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts ^dtrouble them. ¹⁴Then will I ^xmake their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord God. ¹⁵When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and ^ythe country shall be ^†destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then ^zshall they know that I am the Lord. ¹⁶This is ^athe lamentation wherewith ^bthey shall lament her: ^bbthe daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all ^cher multitude, saith the Lord God.
