Commentary on Ezekiel 32:2
Pharaoh is depicted as a 'young lion of the nations' and a 'dragon in the seas'—powerful, predatory, and dangerous. Yet despite self-perception as royal and majestic ('lion'), he's actually a destructive monster ('dragon') troubling the waters. This reveals the gap between self-perception and reality. Pride distorts self-understanding, seeing nobility where God sees destructiveness.
