Ezekiel32:2

Ver. 2. Take up a lamentation] i. e. A lamentable Prophecy, deſtructive to the Egyptians: and it is very likely that they heard of it, but heeded it not; tanquam monſtra marina Dei verba praetereuntes.

Thou art like a young lion] For pride, fierceneſſe and cruelty.

And thou art as a whale] Or Crocodile: thou domineereſt over ſea and land, far and wide: thou playeſt Rex.

Thou cameſt forth with thy rivers] With the armes of thy Nilus into the Midland-ſea: inſanis bellis inquietans omnia, breeding a great buſtle in the Countries near adjoyning.
