# Son of man "Son of a human being" or "Son of humanity." God emphasizes that Ezekiel is only a human being. God is eternal and powerful. See Ezekiel 2:1. # lift up "sing" # You are like a young lion ... like a monster in the seas Possible meanings are: he thought he was like a lion, but he was really only a monster, or he was like a lion and a monster. # like a young lion among the nations Egypt was stronger than other nations, like lions are stronger than other animals. # like a monster in the seas Pharaoh was powerful, but he only caused trouble for others, like this monster in the water. A monster is an animal that is big and dangerous. This one might be a crocodile. See Ezekiel 29:3.
