Ezekiel 32:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

“‘You thought you were like a powerful young lion walking proud among the nations.
    But really, you are like a dragon^[b] in the lakes.
You push your way through the streams.
    You make the water muddy with your feet
    and stir up the rivers of Egypt.’”

“I have gathered many people together.
    Now I will throw my net over you.
    Then those people will pull you in.
⁴ Then I will drop you on the dry ground.
    I will throw you down in the field.
I will let all the birds come and eat you.
    I will let wild animals from every place come and eat you until they are full.
