THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Ezekiel 32:4 in context

Ezekiel 32:1–7

In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,

“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.’”

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.

Selected verse

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.

I will lay your flesh on the mountains,

and fill the valleys with your height.

I will also water the land in which you swim with your blood,

even to the mountains.

The watercourses will be full of you.

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.
