Ezek 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 YHWH came to me, saying,
2
Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him, You
were likened to a young lion of the nations: yet are you as a monster in the seas;
and you did break forth with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet,
and fouled their rivers.
3
Thus says the Lord YHWH: I will spread out my net upon you with a company of many
peoples; and they shall bring you up in my net.
4
And I will leave you upon the land, I will cast you forth upon the open field, and
will cause all the birds of the heavens to settle upon you, and I will satisfy the
beasts of the whole earth with you.
5
And I will lay your flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.
6
I will also water with your blood the land wherein you swim, even to the mountains;
and the watercourses shall be full of you.
7
And when I shall extinguish you, I will cover the heavens, and make its stars
dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give its light.
8
All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over you, and set darkness upon your
land, says the Lord YHWH.
9
I will also vex the hearts of many peoples, when I shall bring your destruction among
the nations, into the countries which you have not known.
10
Yea, I will make many peoples amazed at you, and their kings shall be horribly afraid
for you, 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 your fall.
11
For thus says the Lord YHWH: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon you.
12
By the swords of the mighty will I cause your multitude to fall; the terrible of the
nations are they all: and they shall bring to nothing the pride of Egypt, and all
its multitude shall be destroyed.
13
I will destroy also all its beasts from beside many 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 clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, says
the Lord YHWH.
15
When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that whereof
it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know
that I am YHWH.
16
This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament; the daughters of the nations
shall lament therewith; over Egypt, and over all her multitude, shall they lament
therewith, says the Lord YHWH.
17
It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth [day] of the month, that
the word of YHWH came to 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, to the nether parts of the earth, with them that
go down into the pit.
19
Whom do you pass in beauty? go down, and be you 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 away and all her multitudes.
21
The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of Sheol with them
that help him: they are gone down, they lie still, even the uncircumcised, slain by
the sword.
22
Asshur is there and all her company; her graves are round about her; all of them slain,
fallen by the sword;
23
whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit, and her company is round about
her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who 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, who are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth,
who caused their terror in the land of the living, and have 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 her; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for their terror
was caused in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with them that
go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that are slain.
26
There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitude; their graves are round about them;
all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for 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, that
are gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war, and have laid their swords under
their heads, and their iniquities are upon their bones; for [they were] the terror
of the mighty in the land of the living.
28
But you shall be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shall lie with them
that are slain by the sword.
29
There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who in their might are laid with them
that are slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them
that go down to the pit.
30
There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who are gone
down with the slain; in the terror which they caused by their might they are put to
shame; and they lie uncircumcised with them that are 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, says the Lord YHWH.
32
For I have put his terror in the land of the living; and he shall be laid in the midst
of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all
his multitude, says the Lord YHWH.
