Ezekiel 32:2-8

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.

3“ ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “ ‘With a great throng of people I will cast my net over you, and they will haul you up in my net.

4I will throw you on the land and hurl you on the open field. I will let all the birds of the sky settle on you and all the animals of the wild gorge themselves on you.

5I will spread your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains.

6I will drench the land with your flowing blood all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.

7When I snuff you out, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.

8All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you; I will bring darkness over your land, declares the Sovereign Lord.
