Ezekiel 32:1 In-Context

1 In the twelfth year, on the first day of the twelfth month, the LORD's word came to me:

2 Human one, sing a lament for Pharaoh, Egypt's king. Say to him: You consider yourself a young lion among the nations, but you are like the sea monster! You thrash about in your rivers, you roil the waters with your feet, and you muddy your rivers.

3 The LORD God proclaims: In the company of many peoples I will spread my net over you, and I will haul you up in my dragnet.

4 I will cast you out on the earth and throw you on the open ground. I will cause all the birds in the sky to settle on you, and all the beasts of the earth to devour you.

5 Your flesh I will set upon the mountains, and I will fill the valleys with your gore.
