Ezekiel 32:1-16

32¹ And it came about 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, make a song of grief for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and say to him, Young lion of the nations, destruction has come on you; and you were like a sea-beast in the seas, sending out bursts of water, troubling the waters with your feet, making their streams dirty. ³ This is what the Lord has said: My net will be stretched out over you, and I will take you up in my fishing-net. ⁴ And I will let you be stretched on the land; I will send you out violently into the open field; I will let all the birds of heaven come to rest on you and will make the beasts of all the earth full of you. ⁵ And I will put your flesh on the mountains, and make the valleys full of your blood. ⁶ And the land will be watered with your blood, and the waterways will be full of you. ⁷ And when I put out your life, the heaven will be covered and its stars made dark; I will let the sun be covered with a cloud and the moon will not give her light. ⁸ All the bright lights of heaven I will make dark over you, and put dark night on your land, says the Lord. ⁹ And the hearts of numbers of peoples will be troubled, when I send your prisoners among the nations, into a country which is strange to you. ¹⁰ And I will make a number of peoples overcome with wonder at you, and their kings will be full of fear because of you, when my sword is waved before them: they will be shaking every minute, every man fearing for his life, in the day of your fall. ¹¹ For this is what the Lord has said: The sword of the king of Babylon will come on you. ¹² I will let the swords of the strong be the cause of the fall of your people; all of them men to be feared among the nations: and they will make waste the pride of Egypt, and all its people will come to destruction. ¹³ And I will put an end to all her beasts which are by the great waters, and they will never again be troubled by the foot of man or by the feet of beasts. ¹⁴ Then I will make their waters clear and their rivers will be flowing like oil, says the Lord. ¹⁵ When I make Egypt an unpeopled waste, cutting off from the land all the things in it; when I send punishment on all those living in it, then it will be clear to them that I am the Lord. ¹⁶ It is a song of grief, and people will give voice to it, the daughters of the nations will give voice to it, even for Egypt and all her people, says the Lord.
