Ezekiel 32:2-8

2“Son of man, sing a lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him: “‘You were like a lion among the nations, but you are a monster in the seas; you thrash about in your streams, stir up the water with your feet, and muddy your streams.

3“‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: “‘I will throw my net over you in the assembly of many peoples; and they will haul you up in my dragnet.

4I will leave you on the ground, I will fling you on the open field, I will allow all the birds of the sky to settle on you, and I will permit all the wild animals to gorge themselves on you.

5I will put your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your maggot-infested carcass.

6I will drench the land with the flow of your blood up to the mountains, and the ravines will be full of your blood.

7When I extinguish you, I will cover the sky; I will darken its stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not shine.

8I will darken all the lights in the sky over you, and I will darken your land, declares the sovereign Lord.
