1 Y ACONTECIÓ en el año duodécimo, en el mes duodécimo, al primero del mes, que fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:

2 Hijo del hombre, levanta endechas sobre Faraón rey de Egipto, y dile: A leoncillo de gentes eres semejante, y eres como la ballena en los mares: que secabas tus ríos, y enturbiabas las aguas con tus pies, y hollabas sus riberas.

3 Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Yo extenderé sobre ti mi red con reunión de muchos pueblos, y te harán subir con mi esparavel.

4 Y te dejaré en tierra, te echaré sobre la haz del campo, y haré que se asienten sobre ti todas las aves del cielo, y hartaré de ti las bestias de toda la tierra.
