Ezekiel 32
American Standard Version
1And it came to pass in the twelfth yearH8141, in the twelfth monthH2320, in the first day of the monthH2320, that the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto me, sayingH559, 2SonH1121 of manH120, takeH5375 up a lamentationH7015 over PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and sayH559 unto him, Thou wast likened unto a youngH1121 lionH3715 of the nationsH1471: yet art thou as a monster in the seasH3220; and thou didst break forthH1518 with thy riversH5104, and troubledst the watersH4325 with thy feetH7272, and fouledst their riversH5104. 3ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: I will spreadH6566 out my netH7568 upon thee with a companyH6951 of manyH7227 peoplesH5971; and they shall bringH5927 thee up in my netH7568. 4And I will leave thee upon the landH776, I will cast thee forth upon the open fieldH7704, and will cause all the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064 to settleH7931 upon thee, and I will satisfyH7646 the beasts of the whole earthH776 with thee. 5And I will lay thy fleshH1320 upon the mountainsH2022, and fillH4390 the valleysH1516 with thy height. 6I will also waterH8248 with thy bloodH1818 the landH776 wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountainsH2022; and the watercourses shall be fullH4390 of thee. 7And when I shall extinguishH3518 thee, I will coverH3680 the heavensH8064, and makeH215 the starsH3556 thereof darkH6937; I will coverH3680 the sunH8121 with a cloudH6051, and the moonH3394 shall not giveH215 its lightH216. 8All the bright lightsH3974 of heavenH8064 will I makeH5414 dark over thee, and setH5414 darknessH2822 upon thy landH776, saith the LordH136 Jehovah. 9I will also vex the heartsH3820 of manyH7227 peoplesH5971, whenH834 I shall bringH935 thy destructionH7667 among the nationsH1471, into the countries which thou hast not knownH3045. 10Yea, I will makeH8074 manyH7227 peoplesH5971 amazed at thee, and their kingsH4428 shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my swordH2719 before them; and they shall trembleH2729 at every momentH7281, every manH376 for his own lifeH5315, in the dayH3117 of thy fall.
11For thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: The swordH2719 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 shall comeH935 upon thee. 12By the swordsH2719 of the mightyH1368 will I cause thy multitudeH1995 to fallH5307; the terrible of the nationsH1471 are they all: and they shall bring to nought the prideH1347 of EgyptH4714, and all the multitudeH1995 thereof shall be destroyedH8045. 13I will destroyH6 also all the beasts thereof from beside manyH7227 watersH4325; neither shall the footH7272 of manH120 trouble them any more, nor the hoofsH6541 of beasts trouble them. 14ThenH227 will I make their watersH4325 clear, and cause their riversH5104 to run like oilH8081, saith the LordH136 Jehovah. 15When I shall makeH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 desolateH8074 and waste, a landH776 destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwellH3427 therein, then shall they knowH3045 that I am Jehovah. 16This is the lamentationH7015 wherewith they shall lament; the daughtersH1323 of the nationsH1471 shall lament therewith; over EgyptH4714, and over all her multitudeH1995, shall they lament therewith, saith the LordH136 Jehovah.
17It came to pass also in the twelfth yearH8141, in the fifteenth day of the monthH2320, that the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto me, sayingH559, 18SonH1121 of manH120, wailH5091 for the multitudeH1995 of EgyptH4714, and cast them downH3381, even her, and the daughtersH1323 of the famous nationsH1471, unto the nether partsH8482 of the earthH776, with them that goH3381 down into the pitH953. 19Whom dost thou pass in beauty? goH3381 down, and be thou laidH7901 with the uncircumcisedH6189. 20They shall fallH5307 in the midstH8432 of them that are slainH2491 by the swordH2719: she is delivered to the swordH2719; drawH4900 her away and all her multitudesH1995. 21The strong among the mightyH1368 shall speakH1696 to him out of the midstH8432 of SheolH7585 with them that helpH5826 him: they are goneH3381 downH3381, they lieH7901 still, even the uncircumcisedH6189, slainH2491 by the swordH2719.
22AsshurH804 is there and all her companyH6951; her gravesH6913 are roundH5439 about her; all of them slain, fallenH5307 by the swordH2719; 23whose gravesH6913 are setH5414 in the uttermost partsH3411 of the pitH953, and her companyH6951 is roundH5439 about her graveH6913; all of them slain, fallenH5307 by the swordH2719, who caused terrorH2851 in the landH776 of the living.
24There is ElamH5867 and all her multitudeH1995 roundH5439 about her graveH6900; all of them slain, fallenH5307 by the swordH2719, who are goneH3381 downH3381 uncircumcisedH6189 into the nether partsH8482 of the earthH776, who caused their terrorH2851 in the landH776 of the living, and have borneH5375 their shame with them that goH3381 down to the pitH953. 25They have setH5414 her a bedH4904 in the midstH8432 of the slainH2491 with all her multitudeH1995; her gravesH6913 are roundH5439 about her; all of them uncircumcisedH6189, slainH2491 by the swordH2719; for their terrorH2851 was caused in the landH776 of the living, and they have borneH5375 their shame with them that goH3381 down to the pitH953: he is putH5414 in the midstH8432 of them that are slainH2491.
26There is MeshechH4902, TubalH8422, and all their multitudeH1995; their gravesH6913 are roundH5439 about them; all of them uncircumcisedH6189, slain by the swordH2719; for they caused their terrorH2851 in the landH776 of the living. 27And they shall not lieH7901 with the mightyH1368 that are fallenH5307 of the uncircumcisedH6189, that are goneH3381 downH3381 to SheolH7585 with their weaponsH3627 of warH4421, and have laidH7901 their swordsH2719 under their headsH7218, and their iniquitiesH5771 are upon their bonesH6106; forthey werethe terrorH2851 of the mightyH1368 in the landH776 of the living. 28But thou shalt be brokenH7665 in the midstH8432 of the uncircumcisedH6189, and shalt lieH7901 with them that are slainH2491 by the swordH2719.
29There is EdomH123, her kingsH4428 and all her princesH5387, who in their might are laidH7901 with them that are slainH2491 by the swordH2719: they shall lieH7901 with the uncircumcisedH6189, and with them that goH3381 down to the pitH953. 30There are the princes of the northH6828, all of them, and all the SidoniansH6722, who are goneH3381 downH3381 with the slainH2491; in the terrorH2851 which they caused by their might they are putH954 to shameH954; and they lieH7901 uncircumcisedH6189 with them that are slainH2491 by the swordH2719, and bearH5375 their shameH954 with them that goH3381 down to the pitH953.
31PharaohH6547 shall seeH7200 them, and shall be comfortedH5162 over all his multitudeH1995, even PharaohH6547 and all his armyH2428, slainH2491 by the swordH2719, saith the LordH136 Jehovah. 32For I have putH5414 his terrorH2851 in the landH776 of the living; and he shall be laidH7901 in the midstH8432 of the uncircumcisedH6189, with them that are slainH2491 by the swordH2719, even PharaohH6547 and all his multitudeH1995, saith the LordH136 Jehovah.
