Chapter 32 |
| 1 | And it came to
pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month,
that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 4 | Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will
cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven
to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with
thee. |
| 5 |
And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the
valleys with thy height. |
| 6 | I will also water with thy blood the land
wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of
thee. |
| 7 |
And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and
make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon
shall not give her light. |
|
8 | All the bright lights of heaven will I
make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
|
| 9 | I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy
destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not
known. |
| 10
| Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their
kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before
them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in
the day of thy fall. |
| 11 | For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of
the king of Babylon shall come upon thee. |
|
12 | By the swords of the
mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of
them: and they shall spoil the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof
shall be destroyed. |
| 13 | I will destroy also all the beasts thereof
from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any
more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them. |
|
14 | Then will I make their
waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD.
|
| 15 | When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall be
destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell
therein, then shall they know that I am the LORD. |
| 16 | This is the
lamentation wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall
lament her: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her
multitude, saith the Lord GOD. |
| 17 | It came to pass also in the
twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the LORD came
unto me, saying, |
|
18 | Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and
cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the
nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit. |
| 19 | Whom
dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the
uncircumcised. |
|
20 | They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain
by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her
multitudes. |
|
21 | The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out
of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie
uncircumcised, slain by the sword. |
| 22 | Asshur is there and all her
company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen by the
sword: |
| 23
| Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her
company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which
caused terror in the land of the living. |
|
24 | There is Elam and all her
multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which
are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused
their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with
them that go down to the pit. |
|
25 | They have set her a bed in the midst
of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of
them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the
land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to
the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain. |
| 26 | There is
Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of
them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the
land of the living. |
| 27 | And they shall not lie with the mighty that
are fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons
of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities
shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in the
land of the living. |
| 28 | Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of
the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword.
|
| 29 | There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with their might
are laid by them that were slain by the sword: they shall lie with the
uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit. |
| 30 | There be the
princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down
with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie
uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword, and bear their shame with
them that go down to the pit. |
|
31 | Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be
comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the
sword, saith the Lord GOD. |
|
32 | For I have caused my terror in the
land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with
them that are slain with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith
the Lord GOD. |
