1 In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:
2 “Son of man, raise a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him:“You consider yourself a lion of the nations,but you are like a dragon in the seas; you burst forth in your rivers,trouble the waters with your feet,and foul their rivers.
3 Thus says the Lord God: I will throw my net over youwith a host of many peoples,and they will haul you up in my dragnet.
4 And I will cast you on the ground;on the open field I will fling you,and will cause all the birds of the heavens to settle on you,and I will gorge the beasts of the whole earth with you.
5 I will strew your flesh upon the mountainsand fill the valleys with your carcass.
