2Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him, Thou art become like a lion of the nations, and as the serpent that is in the sea: and thou didst make assaults with thy rivers, and didst disturb the water with thy feet, and didst trample thy rivers.

3Thus saith the Lord; I will also cast over thee the nets of many nations, and will bring thee up with my hook:

— Ezekiel 32:4 —

5And I will cast thy flesh upon the mountains, and will saturate them with thy blood.
