32 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.
