Ezekiel 32:3-5
New English Translation
3 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘I will throw my net over you[a] in the assembly of many peoples;
and they will haul you up in my dragnet.
4 I will leave you on the ground,
I will fling you on the open field,
I will allow[b] all the birds of the sky to settle[c] on you,
and I will permit[d] all the wild animals[e] to gorge themselves on you.
5 I will put your flesh on the mountains,
and fill the valleys with your maggot-infested carcass.[f]
