2 “Son of man, sing this sad song about Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Say to him: “‘You thought you were like a powerful young lion walking proud among the nations. But really, you are like a dragon in the lakes. You push your way through the streams. You make the water muddy with your feet and stir up the rivers of Egypt.’”
3 This is what the Lord GOD says: “I have gathered many people together. Now I will throw my net over you. Then those people will pull you in.
4 Then I will drop you on the dry ground. I will throw you down in the field. I will let all the birds come and eat you. I will let wild animals from every place come and eat you until they are full.
5 I will scatter your body on the mountains. I will fill the valleys with your dead body.
6 I will pour your blood on the mountains, and it will soak down into the ground. The rivers will be full of you.
7 I will make you disappear. I will cover the sky and make the stars dark. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not shine.
8 I will darken the lights in the sky over you. I will make your whole country dark.” This is what the Lord GOD said.
