3 speak, and say, Thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, I am against you,
Pharaoh king of Egypt,
the great cdragon that lies
in the midst of his streams,
that says, ‘My Nile is my own;
I made it for myself.’
2 “Son of man, raise a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him:
“You consider yourself a lion of the nations,
but you are like a pdragon in the seas;
you burst forth in your rivers,
trouble the waters with your feet,
and foul their rivers.
13 zYou divided the sea by your might;
you broke the heads of the sea monsters1 on the waters.
14 You crushed the heads of aLeviathan;
you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.
The Redemption of Israel
1 In that day the Lord with his hard and great and strong sword will punish vLeviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the twisting serpent, and he will slay the dragon that is in the sea.
9 pAwake, awake, put on strength,
O arm of the Lord;
awake, as in days of old,
the generations of long ago.
Was it not you who cut qRahab in pieces,
who pierced the dragon?
