Ezekiel 32:2-8

2“Son of man, take up a dirge (funeral poem to be sung) over Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him, ‘You have compared yourself to a young lion among the nations, But you are like a monster in the seas; You burst into your rivers And disturbed and muddied the waters with your feet And fouled their rivers [the source of their prosperity].’ ”

3Thus says the Lord God, “I will spread out My net over you With a company of many nations, And they will bring you up in My net.

4Then I will leave you (Egypt) on the land; I will hurl you on the open field. And I will make all the birds of the sky dwell on you, And I will satisfy the animals of all the earth with you.

5And I will scatter your flesh on the mountains And fill the valleys with your debris [your corpses and their worms].

6I will also water the land with your flowing blood As far as the mountains, And the ravines will be full of you.

7And when I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens [of Egypt] and darken their stars; I will cover the sun with a cloud And the moon will not give its light.

8All the bright lights in the heavens I will darken over you And I will place darkness on your land,” Says the Lord God.
