And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2
"Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him: 'You are like a young lion among the nations, And you are like a monster in the seas, Bursting forth in your rivers, Troubling the waters with your feet, And fouling their rivers.'
3
"Thus says the Lord God: 'I will therefore spread My net over you with a company of many people, And they will draw you up in My net.
4
Then I will leave you on the land; I will cast you out on the open fields, And cause to settle on you all the birds of the heavens. And with you I will fill the beasts of the whole earth.
5
I will lay your flesh on the mountains, And fill the valleys with your carcass.
6
'I will also water the land with the flow of your blood, Even to the mountains; And the riverbeds will be full of you.
