Ezekiel 32:2

Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.

KJV

Fili hominis, assume lamentum super Pharaonem regem Ægypti, et dices ad eum : Leoni gentium assimilatus es, et draconi qui est in mari : et ventilabas cornu in fluminibus tuis, et conturbabas aquas pedibus tuis, et conculcabas flumina earum.

Vulgate

Υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, λάβε θρῆνον ἐπὶ Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτῷ Λέοντι ἐθνῶν ὡμοιώθης σὺ καὶ ὡς δράκων ὁ ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, καὶ ἐκεράτιζες τοῖς ποταμοῖς σου, καὶ ἐτάρασσες ὕδωρ τοῖς ποσίν σου καὶ κατεπάτεις τοὺς ποταμούς σου.

LXX

Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou wast likened unto a young lion of the nations: yet art thou as a monster in the seas; and thou didst break forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
