Take a lamentation: see Ezekiel 19:1, Ezekiel 27:2. Pharaoh; Hophra. Like a young lion: of this hieroglyphic see Ezekiel 19:3,6. Of the nations; among, or to, the nations round about thee, spoiling all thou canst, a cruel devourer abroad. A whale; a crocodile, a devouring dragon in thy rivers at home, for there the crocodiles lay and did mischief, though sometimes they went down the river to the sea. In the seas; that comes forth to seek prey and devour, so a lion at land, a whale, or crocodile rather, at sea, ravenous every where. Camest forth with thy rivers; raisedst mighty armies, and didst lead them out against thy neighbours, as in particular, Ezekiel 29:3,4. The waters; the people, kingdoms, and kings near thee. With thy feet; with thy soldiers. Fouledst their rivers; disturbed and muddied their pleasant clearness, and made them unfit to drink, i.e. did spoil all the pleasant and useful conveniences of thy neighbours.

2 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 whalea in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
