Ezekiel 32:1 In-Context

1 On the first day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year of our exile, the Lord spoke to me.

2 "Mortal man," he said, "give a solemn warning to the king of Egypt. Give him this message from me: You act like a lion among the nations, but you are more like a crocodile splashing through a river. You muddy the water with your feet and pollute the rivers.

3 When many nations gather, I will catch you in my net and let them drag the net ashore.

4 I will throw you out on the ground and bring all the birds and animals of the world to feed on you.

5 I will cover mountains and valleys with your rotting corpse.
