1. And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the Devar Hashem came unto me, saying,
2. Ben adam, take up a kinah (lamentation) for Pharaoh Melech Mitzrayim, and say unto him, Thou art like a lion of the Goyim, and thou art as a sea monster in the yamim (seas); and thou thrash about in thy rivers, and troubledst the mayim with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
3. Thus saith Adonoi Hashem: I will therefore spread out My net over thee with a kahal of amim rabbim; and they shall draw thee up in My net.
4. Then will I throw thee upon ha'aretz, I will cast thee forth upon the open sadeh, and will cause all the oph HaShomayim to settle upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of kol ha'aretz (the whole earth) with thee.
5. And I will lay thy basar upon the harim, and fill the ge'ayot (valleys) with thy height.
6. I will also water with thy flowing dahm eretz even up to the harim; and the ravines shall be full of thee.
7. And when I shall put out thy light, I will cover the Shomayim, and make the kokhavim thereof dark; I will cover the shemesh with an anan (cloud), and the yarei'ach (moon) shall not give her light.
8. All the bright lights of Shomayim will I make dark over thee, and set choshech upon thy land, saith Adonoi Hashem.
