Ezekiel 32:2

32:2 “Son of man, sing a lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him:

“‘You were like a lion ³  among the nations,

but you are a monster in the seas;

you thrash about in your streams,

stir up the water with your feet,

and muddy your ⁴  streams.

[38:17]  ¹ tn Heb “by the hand of my servants.”

[38:17]  ² tn The Hebrew text adds “years” here, but this is probably a scribal gloss on the preceding phrase. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:201.

[32:2]  ³ tn The lion was a figure of royalty (Ezek 19:1-9).

[32:2]  ⁴ tc The Hebrew reads “their streams”; the LXX reads “your streams.”
