### [Read the passage.](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Ezekiel32.1-16)
|
||
|
||
The Pharaoh of Egypt considered himself a lion among men, but the Lord
|
||
considers him a monster, like one that inhabits the seas. With a force of
|
||
many people, the Lord will pull him out of the Nile River and throw him out
|
||
onto the land where he perishes. So great is his fall that the carrion birds
|
||
and beasts from all over the world can eat their fill. Even still the valleys
|
||
are filled up with his flesh and the ravines flow with the spilled blood.
|
||
Apocalyptic signs are shown in the sky to mark the passing of such a great
|
||
beast.
|
||
|
||
So great was Egypt's influence, that even nations that Egypt hadn't heard of
|
||
will tremble at their downfall. They know that if Egypt could be brought low,
|
||
no nation is safe from the judgement of the Lord.
|
||
|
||
When Babylon brings a sword against Egypt, the Lord declares that there will
|
||
be a complete desolation. Nothing will step in the water to churn up the mud in
|
||
the rivers. But Egypt will be remembered in song through this lamentation the
|
||
Lord has given.
|

You rule over all nations and bring Your judgements to bear. |
