Ezekiel 32:2 meaning and explanation
“Son of man, take up a lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him: ‘You are like a lion among the nations; you are like a monster in the seas. You thrash about in your rivers, churning up the waters with your feet and muddying the streams.’
Ezekiel 32:2, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
God addresses Ezekiel as “son of man,” a title emphasizing his human role as prophet, and commands him to take up a lament, a funeral song, over Pharaoh, though the king is still alive. The images mix grandeur and menace: Pharaoh is like a lion among the nations, but also like a sea monster thrashing in the Nile, churning the waters and muddying the streams.
