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. |
