1. On March 3, during the twelfth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, this message came to me from the lord:
2. “Son of man, mourn for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and give him this message:“You think of yourself as a strong young lion among the nations,but you are really just a sea monster,heaving around in your own rivers,stirring up mud with your feet.
3. Therefore, this is what the Sovereign lord says:I will send many peopleto catch you in my netand haul you out of the water.
