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 In the twelfth year, on the first day of the twelfth month, God's Message came to me:

2 "Son of man, sing a funeral lament over Pharaoh king of Egypt. Tell him: "'You think you're a young lion prowling through the nations. You're more like a dragon in the ocean, snorting and thrashing about.

3 "'God, the Master, says: "'I'm going to throw my net over you - many nations will get in on this operation - and haul you out with my dragnet.

4 'll dump you on the ground out in an open field And bring in all the crows and vultures for a sumptuous carrion lunch. I'll invite wild animals from all over the world to gorge on your guts.

5 I'll scatter hunks of your meat in the mountains and strew your bones in the valleys.
