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 {And then} in {the twelfth} year, in the {twelfth} month, on the first [day] of the month, the word of Yahweh {came} to me, {saying},

2 "Son of man, raise a lament over Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and you must say to him, '[With] a fierce, strong lion among nations you compared yourself, and you [are] like the sea monster in the seas, and you thrash about in your rivers, and you make water turbid with your feet, and you make your rivers muddy.

3 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Now I will spread my net over you in [the] assembly of many peoples, and I will bring you up in my dragnet.

4 And I will throw you on the ground; on the surface of the open field I will hurl you, and I will cause every bird of the heaven to dwell on you, and I will satisfy the animals of all of the world from you.

5 And I will put your flesh on the mountains, and I will fill the valleys [with] your carcass.
