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 It was in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month. The Lord spoke his word to me, saying:

2 "Human, sing a funeral song about the king of Egypt. Say to him: 'You are like a young lion among the nations. You are like a crocodile in the seas. You splash around in your streams and stir up the water with your feet, making the rivers muddy.

3 "'This is what the Lord God says: I will spread my net over you, and I will use a large group of people to pull you up in my net.

4 Then I will throw you on the land dropping you onto the ground. I will let the birds of the sky rest on you and all the animals of the earth eat you until they are full.

5 I will scatter your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with what is left of you.
