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.
«يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، ارْفَعْ مَرْثَاةً عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَقُلْ لَهُ: أَشْبَهْتَ شِبْلَ الأُمَمِ وَأَنْتَ نَظِيرُ تِمْسَاحٍ فِي الْبِحَارِ. انْدَفَقْتَ بِأَنْهَارِكَ، وَكَدَّرْتَ الْمَاءَ بِرِجْلَيْكَ، وَعَكَّرْتَ أَنْهَارَهُمْ.
