"Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will spread out my net upon thee with a company of many peoples; and they shall bring thee up in my net." — Ezekiel 32:3 (ASV)
Thus says the Lord God The Lord God Almighty, who is able to manage this fierce and turbulent creature, this mighty monarch and disturber of the nations: I will therefore spread out my net over you with a company of many people; meaning the Chaldean army, which the Lord would instigate, and by his providence bring against the king of Egypt, and surround him as fishes in a net, and take him and his people; see (Ezekiel 12:13) (17:20): and they shall bring you up in my net; out of his rivers, out of his fortresses, out of his own land, and carry him captive, or destroy him.
