Context of Ezekiel 32:1

The Lord gave this message to me on the first day of the 12th month, in the 12th year: 2‘Son of man, sing a funeral song about Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Say this to him: “You have shown your power among the nations, like a strong lion. But really you are a monster who lives in the sea. You live in the rivers of your country. You beat the water with your feet. The water of your streams becomes dirty. 3This is what the Almighty Lord says: I will bring a big crowd of people together to catch you in my net. They will use my net to pull you out of the water.

When others are ruined by sin, we have to…Read the comment
