‘Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and tell him,

“You were likened to a young lion of the nations;
    yet you are as a monster in the seas.
You broke out with your rivers,
    and troubled the waters with your feet,

    “I will spread out my net on you with a company of many peoples;
    and they will bring you up in my net.

and will cause all the birds of the sky to settle on you.
    I will satisfy the animals of the whole earth with you.
