“Here I am against you, Pharʹaoh king of Egypt,+

The great sea monster lying among the streams of his Nile,*+

Who has said, ‘My Nile River belongs to me.

2 “Son of man, sing a dirge* concerning Pharʹaoh king of Egypt, and say to him,

‘You were like a strong young lion* of the nations,

But you have been silenced.

You were like a sea monster,+ thrashing about in your rivers,

Muddying the waters with your feet and fouling the* rivers.’
