Continuing our learning from Tuesday.
God is not done with Egypt and Pharaoh yet.
Again he attacks his pride:
You consider yourself a lion of the nations,
But makes sure that Egypt understands what it really is:
but you are like a dragon in the seas;
but you are like a dragon in the seas;
you burst forth in your rivers,
trouble the waters with your feet,
and foul their rivers.
trouble the waters with your feet,
and foul their rivers.
3 Thus says the Lord God:
I will throw my net over you
with a host of many peoples,
and they will haul you up in my dragnet.
4 And I will cast you on the ground;
on the open field I will fling you,
and will cause all the birds of the heavens to settle on you,
and I will gorge the beasts of the whole earth with you.
I will throw my net over you

4 And I will cast you on the ground;
on the open field I will fling you,
and will cause all the birds of the heavens to settle on you,
and I will gorge the beasts of the whole earth with you.
And it continues in vv 5-8 with how Egypt will be blotted out, strewn on the mountains and so forth. God will put a darkness over the land.
The devastation will be so complete that the nations all around will be appalled with the horror of it. How God branishes the sword at Egypt will make them : tremble every moment, every one for his own life, on the day of your downfall.
Who will God use to bring about this devastation?
