(Ezekiel 31)
On the first day of the twelfth month in the twelfth year, the word of the Lord came to me:
Son of man, utter a lament over Pharaoh, the King of Egypt, saying to him: Lion of the Nations! you are destroyed!
You were like a monster in the sea,
spouting in your streams,
stirring the water with your feet
and churning its streams.
Thus, says the Lord God:
I will spread my net over you and draw you up in the seine.
I will leave you on the land;
on the open field I will cast you.
i will have allt he birds of the air alight on you,
and all the beasts on the earth their fill on you.
I will leave your flesh on the mountains,
and fill the valleys with your carcass.
I will water the land with what flows from you,
and the river SHALL be red.
When I snuff you out I will cover the heavens,
and all their stars I will darken.
The sun I will cover with clouds,
and the moon shall not give its light
All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken on your account,
And I WILL spread darkness over your land.
In your pride you sing to yourself; as you harm My people
Nay, I will cut down your horde with the blades of warriors,
all of them the most ruthless of the nations
When I turn Egypt into a waste, the land shall be devasted of all that is in it.
When I strike all who live there, they shall know that I am the Lord.
This is a dirge, and it shall be sung: the daughters of the nations shall chant it;
over Egypt and all its hordes shall they chant it, Says The Lord.
