“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.”
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 let the beasts of the whole earth gorge themselves on you, extending the capture metaphor to describe exposure and mutilation of Pharaoh's body. The provision of carrion for birds and beasts represents ultimate humiliation and denial of proper burial.
