Ezek 32
1
And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the Heb. and Alex. twelfth month tenth month, on the first day of the month, that
the word of the Lord came to me,
saying,
2
Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharao king of Egypt, and say to him, You are
become like a lion of the nations, and as a serpent that is in the sea: and you Let. butt, or push with the horn did make
assaults with your rivers, and did disturb the water with your feet, and
did trample your rivers.
3
Thus says the Lord; I will also cast over you the nets of many nations, and will bring
you up with my hook:
4
and I will stretch you upon the earth: the fields shall be Gr. filled covered with you, and I will cause all the birds of
the sky to settle upon you, and
I will fill with you all the wild beasts of the earth.
5
And I will cast your flesh upon the mountains, and will saturate them with your blood.
6
And the land shall be drenched with your dung, because of your multitude upon the
mountains: I will fill the valleys Gr. from you with you.
7
And I will veil the heavens when you are extinguished, and will darken the stars thereof;
I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
8
All the bodies that give light in the sky, shall be darkened over you, and I will
bring darkness upon the earth, says the Lord God.
9
And I will provoke to anger the heart of many people, when I shall lead you captive
among the nations, to a land which you have not know.
10
And many nations shall Or, scowl at you mourn over you, and their kings shall be utterly amazed, when my sword flies in their
faces, as they wait for their own fall from the day of your fall.
11
For thus says the Lord God; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon you,
12
with the swords of mighty men; and I will cast down your strength: they are all destroying
ones from the nations, and they shall destroy the pride of Egypt, and all her strength
shall be crushed.
13
And I will destroy all her cattle from beside the great water; and the foot of man
shall not trouble it any more, and the step of cattle shall no more trample it.
14
Thus shall their waters then be at rest, and their rivers shall flow like oil, says
the Lord,
15
when I shall give up Egypt to destruction, and the land shall be made desolate with
the fullness thereof; when I shall scatter all that dwell in it, and they shall know
that I am the Lord.
16
There is a lamentation, and you shall utter it; and the daughters of the nations shall
utter it, even for Egypt, and they shall mourn for it over all the strength thereof,
says the Lord God.
17
And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the first month, on the fifteenth day
of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18
Son of man, lament over the strength of Egypt, for the nations shall bring down her
daughters dead to the depth of the earth, to them that go down to the pit.
19
They shall fall with him in the midst of them that are slain with the sword, and all
his strength shall perish: the giants also shall say to you,
20
Be you in the depth of the pit: to whom are you superior? yea, go down, and lie with
the uncircumcised,
21
in the midst of them that are slain with the sword.
22
There are Assur and all his company: all his slain have been laid there:
23
and their burial is in the depth of the pit, and his company are set around about
his tomb: all the slain that fell by the sword, who had caused the fear of them to
be upon the land of Gr. life the living.
24
There is Ælam and all his host round about his tomb: all the slain that fell by the
sword, and the uncircumcised that go down to the deep of the earth, who caused their
fear to be upon the land of the living: and they have received their punishment with
them that go down to the pit,
25
in the midst of the slain.
26
There were laid Mosoch, and Thobel, and all his strength round about his tomb: all
his slain men, all the uncircumcised, slain with the sword, who caused their fear
to be in the land of the living.
27
And they are laid with the giants that fell of old, who went down to Hades with their
weapons of war: and they laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities
were upon their bones, because they terrified all men during their life.
28
And you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that have been slain
by the sword.
29
There are laid the princes of Assur, who yielded their strength to a wound of the
sword: these are laid with the slain, with them that go down to the pit.
30
There are the princes of the north, even all the captains of Assur, who go down slain
to Hades: they lie uncircumcised among the slain with the sword together with their
terror and their strength, and they have received their punishment with them that
go down to the pit.
31
King Pharao shall see them, and shall be comforted over all their force, says the
Lord God.
32
For I have caused his fear to be upon the land of the living yet he shall lie in the
midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even Pharao, and
all his multitude with him, says the Lord God.
