Ezekiel 32:3

Thus saith the Lord God; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net.

Cross-reference

In Ezekiel 12:13, God spreads His net over Zedekiah — the same image of divine judgment through a dragnet used here against Pharaoh.

Ezekiel 17:20 repeats the identical net imagery for Zedekiah — both passages depict God ensnaring a rebel king in judgment.

Hosea 7:12 Parallel

Hosea 7:12 uses the exact same phrasing — God spreads His net over Israel — reinforcing the theme of God snaring the rebellious.

Habakkuk 1:14-17 shows the Babylonians catching people with a net like fish — the same net imagery but here used as a tool of God’s judgment.

Ecclesiastes 9:12 uses the same fish-in-a-net metaphor for sudden death — a general wisdom parallel to God’s specific judgment on Egypt.

Jeremiah 16:16 pictures God sending fishermen to catch His people — a parallel judgment image but with a different focus on gathering rather than ensnaring.

Lamentations 1:13 describes God spreading a net for Jerusalem’s feet — the same divine trap metaphor applied to a different judgment context.

Job 18:8 Parallel

Job 18:8 describes the wicked stepping into a net — a general proverb about self-inflicted traps, contrasted with God’s active casting of the net here.

Job 19:6 Parallel

Job 19:6 has Job lamenting that God has closed His net around him — a similar net-of-affliction image but applied to personal suffering.
