Reading Ezekiel chapter 32 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.
Verses 1–10
1 In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 “Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and tell him, ‘You were likened to a young lion of the nations; yet you are as a monster in the seas. You broke out with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and fouled their rivers.’”
3 The Lord GOD says: “I will spread out my net on you with a company of many peoples. They will bring you up in my net.
4 I will leave you on the land. I will cast you out on the open field, and will cause all the birds of the sky to settle on you. I will satisfy the animals of the whole earth with you.
5 I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.
6 I will also water the land in which you swim with your blood, even to the mountains. The watercourses will be full of you.
7 When I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and make its stars dark. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon won’t give its light.
8 I will make all the bright lights of the sky dark over you, and set darkness on your land,” says the Lord GOD.
9 “I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring your destruction amongst the nations, into the countries which you have not known.
10 Yes, I will make many peoples amazed at you, and their kings will be horribly afraid for you, when I brandish my sword before them. They will tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.”
