## Ezekiel 32:2-16 in Context (Verses 1–19 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/1) And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first *day* of the month, *that* the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
 
 [2 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/2) Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou *art* as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.*
 
 [3 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/3) Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/4) Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/5) And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/6) I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, *even* to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/7) And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.*
 
 [8 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/8) All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.**
 
 [9 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/9) I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/10) Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at *every* moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/11) ¶ For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/12) By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall spoil the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/13) I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/14) Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/15) When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall be destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I *am* the LORD.*
 
 [16 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/16) This *is* the lamentation wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, *even* for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/17) ¶ It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth *day* of the month, *that* the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
 
 [18 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/18) Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, *even* her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/ezekiel/32/19) Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.
 
[Ezekiel 31](/kjv/ezekiel/31) [Ezekiel 33](/kjv/ezekiel/33)
