Ezekiel:32:1-32
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the twelfth year ,
in the twelfth month ,
on the first day of the month ,
the word of the LORD came to me :
* "
Son of man ,
raise a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt ,
and say to him : "
You consider yourself a lion among the nations ,
but you are like a dragon in the seas ;
you burst forth in your rivers ,
trouble the waters with your feet ,
and foul their rivers .
*
Thus says the Lord GOD :
I will throw my net over you with a host of many peoples ;
and I will haul you up in my dragnet .
*
And I will cast you on the ground ,
on the open field I will fling you ,
and will cause all the birds of the air to settle on you ,
and I will gorge the beasts of the whole earth with you .
*
I will strew your flesh upon the mountains ,
and fill the valleys with your carcass .
*
I will drench the land even to the mountains with your flowing blood ;
and the watercourses will be full of you .
*
When I blot you out ,
I will cover the heavens ,
and make their stars dark ;
I will cover the sun with a cloud ,
and the moon shall not give its light .
*
All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over you ,
and put darkness upon your land ,
says the Lord GOD .
* "
I will trouble the hearts of many peoples ,
when I carry you captive among the nations ,
into the countries which you have not known .
*
I will make many peoples appalled at you ,
and their kings shall shudder because of you ,
when I brandish my sword before them ;
they shall tremble every moment ,
every one for his own life ,
on the day of your downfall .
*
For thus says the Lord GOD :
The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon you .
*
I will cause your multitude to fall by the swords of mighty ones ,
all of them most terrible among the nations . "
They shall bring to nought the pride of Egypt ,
and all its multitude shall perish .
*
I will destroy all its beasts from beside many waters ;
and no foot of man shall trouble them any more ,
nor shall the hoofs of beasts trouble them .
*
Then I will make their waters clear ,
and cause their rivers to run like oil ,
says the Lord GOD .
*
When I make the land of Egypt desolate and when the land is stripped of all that fills it ,
when I smite all who dwell in it ,
then they will know that I am the LORD .
*
This is a lamentation which shall be chanted ;
the daughters of the nations shall chant it ;
over Egypt ,
and over all her multitude ,
shall they chant it ,
says the Lord GOD ."
*
In the twelfth year ,
in the first month ,
on the fifteenth day of the month ,
the word of the LORD came to me :
* "
Son of man ,
wail over the multitude of Egypt ,
and send them down ,
her and the daughters of majestic nations ,
to the nether world ,
to those who have gone down to the Pit :
* `
Whom do you surpass in beauty ?
Go down ,
and be laid with the uncircumcised .'
*
They shall fall amid those who are slain by the sword ,
and with her shall lie all her multitudes .
*
The mighty chiefs shall speak of them ,
with their helpers ,
out of the midst of Sheol : `
They have come down ,
they lie still ,
the uncircumcised ,
slain by the sword .'
* "
Assyria is there ,
and all her company ,
their graves round about her ,
all of them slain ,
fallen by the sword ;
*
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 spread terror in the land of the living .
* "
Elam is there ,
and all her multitude about her grave ;
all of them slain ,
fallen by the sword ,
who went down uncircumcised into the nether world ,
who spread terror in the land of the living ,
and they bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit .
*
They have made her a bed among the slain with all her multitude ,
their graves round about her ,
all of them uncircumcised ,
slain by the sword ;
for terror of them was spread in the land of the living ,
and they bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit ;
they are placed among the slain .
* "
Meshech and Tubal are there ,
and all their multitude ,
their graves round about them ,
all of them uncircumcised ,
slain by the sword ;
for they spread terror in the land of the living .
*
And they do not lie with the fallen mighty men of old who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war ,
whose swords were laid under their heads ,
and whose shields are upon their bones ;
for the terror of the mighty men was in the land of the living .
*
So you shall be broken and lie among the uncircumcised ,
with those who are slain by the sword .
* "
Edom is there ,
her kings and all her princes ,
who for all their might are laid with those who are slain by the sword ;
they lie with the uncircumcised ,
with those who go down to the Pit .
* "
The princes of the north are there ,
all of them ,
and all the Sido '
nians ,
who have gone down in shame with the slain ,
for all the terror which they caused by their might ;
they lie uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword ,
and bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit .
* "
When Pharaoh sees them ,
he will comfort himself for all his multitude ,
Pharaoh and all his army ,
slain by the sword ,
says the Lord GOD .
*
For he spread terror in the land of the living ;
therefore he shall be laid among the uncircumcised ,
with those who are slain by the sword ,
Pharaoh and all his multitude ,
says the Lord GOD ."
