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.

Commentary on Ezekiel 32:2

Theological / Devotional

Thou art like a young lion. Better, “Thou didst liken thyself unto a young lion.”

As the lion is the king of beasts, so Pharaoh believed himself to be a great world leader.

Whale. Heb. tannim, according to several manuscripts tannin, “dragon,” hence perhaps the crocodile (see on ch. 29:3).
