Ezekiel 32:1 In-Context

1 On March 3, during the twelfth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, this message came to me from the LORD :

2 “Son of man, mourn for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and give him this message: “You think of yourself as a strong young lion among the nations, but you are really just a sea monster, heaving around in your own rivers, stirring up mud with your feet.

3 Therefore, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will send many people to catch you in my net and haul you out of the water.

4 I will leave you stranded on the land to die. All the birds of the heavens will land on you, and the wild animals of the whole earth will gorge themselves on you.

5 I will scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
