Ezekiel 32:3 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 32:3

Thus saith the Lord God
The Lord God Almighty, who is able to manage this fierce and turbulent creature, this mighty monarch and disturber of the nations: I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many
people;
meaning the Chaldean army, which the Lord would instigate, and by his providence bring against the king of Egypt, and surround him as fishes in a net, and take him and his people; see ( Ezekiel 12:13 ) ( 17:20 ) : and they shall bring thee up in my net;
out of his rivers, out of his fortresses, out of his own land, and carry him captive, or destroy him.

Ezekiel 32:3 In-Context

1 On the first day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year, the word of ADONAI came to me:

2 "Human being, raise a lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt; say to him, 'You compared yourself to a lion among the nations; In fact, you are more like a crocodile in the lakes. You burst out of your streams, churn the water with your feet and foul their streams.'

3 "So here is what Adonai ELOHIM says: 'With many nations assembled, I will spread my net over you, and they will haul you up in my dragnet.

4 Then I will throw you on the shore, hurl you into an open field, make all the birds in the air settle on you and let the animals of the whole earth eat their fill of you.

5 I will leave your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your rotting carcass.
