Ezekiel 32:2

Eze 32:2 Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou [art] as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.

Ver. 2. Take up a lamentation, ] i.e., A lamentable prophecy, destructive to the Egyptians; and it is very likely that they heard of it but heeded it not; tanquam monstra marina Dei verba praetereuntes.

Thou art like a young lion. ] For pride, fierceness, and cruelty.

And thou art as a whale. ] Or, Crocodile; thou domineerest over sea and land, far and wide; thou playest rex.

Thou camest forth with thy rivers. ] With the arms of thy Nile into the midland sea, insanis bellis inquietans omnia, breeding a great bustle in the countries near adjoining.
