*
Behold ,
the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches ,
and with a shadowing shroud ,
and of an high stature ;
and his top was among the thick boughs .
*
The waters made him great ,
the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants ,
and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field .
*
Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field ,
and his boughs were multiplied ,
and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters ,
when he shot forth .
*
All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs c @#
appah #,
and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young ,
and under his shadow dwelt all great nations .
*
Thus was he fair in his greatness ,
in the length of his branches :
for his root was by great waters .
*
The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him :
the fir trees were not like his boughs c @#
appah #,
and the chesnut trees were not like his branches p @#
orah #;
nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty .
*
I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches :
so that all the trees of Eden ,
that were in the garden of God ,
envied him .
*
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height ,
and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs ,
and his heart is lifted up in his height ;
*
I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen ;
he shall surely deal with him :
I have driven him out for his wickedness .
*
And strangers ,
the terrible of the nations ,
have cut him off ,
and have left him :
upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen ,
and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land ;
and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow ,
and have left him .
*
Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain ,
and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches p @#
orah #:
*
To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height ,
neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs ,
neither their trees stand up in their height ,
all that drink water :
for they are all delivered unto death ,
to the nether parts of the earth ,
in the midst of the children of men ,
with them that go down to the pit .
*
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning :
I covered the deep for him ,
and I restrained the floods thereof ,
and the great waters were stayed :
and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him ,
and all the trees of the field fainted for him .
*
I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall ,
when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit :
and all the trees of Eden ,
the choice and best of Lebanon ,
all that drink water ,
shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth .
*
They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword ;
and they that were his arm ,
that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen .
*
To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden ?
yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth :
thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword .
This is Pharaoh and all his multitude ,
saith the Lord GOD .
