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 streamsand 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 peopleto pull you up in my net.
4. Then I will throw you on the landdropping you onto the ground.I will let the birds of the sky rest on youand all the animals of the earth eat you until they are full.
5. I will scatter your flesh on the mountainsand fill the valleys with what is left of you.
6. I will drench the land with your flowing bloodas far as the mountains,and the ravines will be full of your flesh.
7. When I make you disappear,I will cover the sky and make the stars dark.I will cover the sun with a cloud,and the moon will not shine.
8. I will make all the shining lights in the skybecome dark over you;I will bring darkness over your land,says the Lord God.
9. I will cause many people to be afraidwhen I bring you as a captive into other nations,to lands you have not known.
10. I will cause many people to be shocked about you.Their kings will tremble with fear because of youwhen I swing my sword in front of them.They will shake every momenton the day you fall;each king will be afraid for his own life.
