Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him: You have become like a lion among the nations, and as a serpent that is in the sea; and you made assaults with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and trampled your rivers.

And [is it] not enough for you that you fed on the good pasture, that you trampled with your feet the remnant of your pasture? And [that] you drank the standing water, [and that] you disturbed the residue with your feet?
