Grief over Pharaoh and Egypt

1In the 1twelfthH8147H6240 yearH8141, in the twelfthH8147H6240 monthH2320, on the firstH259 of the monthH2320, the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 2“SonH1121 of manH120, takeH5375 upH5375 a 2songH7015 ofH7015 mourningH7015 overH5921 PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and sayH559 to him, ‘You 3comparedH1819 yourself to a youngH3715 4lionH3715 of the nationsH1471, Yet you are like the 5monsterH8577 in the seasH3220; And you 6burstH1518 forthH1518 in your riversH5104 And muddiedH1804 the watersH4325 with your feetH7272 And 7fouledH7511 their riversH5104.’”

3ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 8GodH3068 saysH559: “Now I will 9spreadH6566 My netH7568 overH5921 you With a contingentH6951 of manyH7227 peoplesH5971, And they will liftH5927 you upH5927 in My netH2764.4I will leaveH5203 you on the landH776; I will hurlH2904 you on the 10openH6440 fieldH7704. And I will cause allH3605 the 11birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 to 12nestH7931 on you, And I will satisfyH7646 the animalsH2421 of the wholeH3605 earthH776 13with you.5I will layH5414 your fleshH1320 14on the mountainsH2022 And fillH4390 the valleysH1516 with your refuseH7419.6I will also makeH8248 the landH776 drinkH8248 the dischargeH6824 of your 15bloodH1818 AsH413 farH413 asH413 the mountainsH2022, And the ravinesH650 will be fullH4390 of you.7And when I 16extinguishH3518 you, I will 17coverH3680 the heavensH8064 and darkenH6937 their 18starsH3556; I will coverH3680 the 19sunH8121 with a cloudH6051 And the moonH3394 will not giveH215 its lightH216.8AllH3605 the shiningH3974 20lightsH216 in the heavensH8064 I will darkenH6937 overH5921 you And will setH5414 darknessH2822 on your landH776,” DeclaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 9“I will also 21troubleH3707 the heartsH3820 of manyH7227 peoplesH5971 when I 22bringH935 your destructionH7667 among the nationsH1471, into landsH776 whichH834 you have not knownH3045. 10And I will makeH8074 manyH7227 peoplesH5971 23appalledH8074 at you, and their kingsH4428 will be horriblyH8178 afraidH8175 of you when I brandishH5774 My swordH2719 beforeH5921H6440 them; and 24they will trembleH2729 againH7281 and againH7281, everyH376 personH376 for his own lifeH5315, on the dayH3117 of your fallH4658.”

11For 25the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559 26thisH3541: “The swordH2719 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 will 27attackH935 you. 12By the swordsH2719 of the warriorsH1368 I will make your multitudeH1995 fallH5307; allH3605 of them are 28tyrantsH6184 of the nationsH1471, And they will 29devastateH7703 the prideH1347 of EgyptH4714, And allH3605 its multitudeH1995 will be destroyedH8045.13I will also eliminateH6 allH3605 its cattleH929 from besideH5921 manyH7227 watersH4325; And 30a humanH120 footH7272 will not muddyH1804 them anymoreH5750, And the hoofsH6541 of animalsH929 will not muddyH1804 them.14ThenH227 I will make their watersH4325 settleH8257, And make their riversH5104 runH1980 like oilH8081,” DeclaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.15“When I makeH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 a 31desolationH8077, And the landH776 is destituteH8074 of that whichH4393 filledH4393 it, When I strikeH5221 allH3605 those who liveH3427 in it, Then they shall 32knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068. 16ThisH1931 is a 33songH7015 ofH7015 mourningH7015, and they shall singH6969 it. The daughtersH1323 of the nationsH1471 shall singH6969 it. OverH5921 EgyptH4714 and overH5921 allH3605 her hordesH1995 they shall singH6969 it,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.

17In the 34twelfthH8147H6240 yearH8141, on the 35fifteenthH2568H6240 of the monthH2320, the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 18“SonH1121 of manH120, 36lamentH5091 for the hordesH1995 of EgyptH4714 and 37bringH3381 it downH3381, her and the daughtersH1323 of the mightyH117 nationsH1471, to the 38netherworldH8482H776, with those who goH3381 downH3381 to the pitH953;19‘WhomH4310 do you surpassH5276H4480 inH5276 beautyH5276? GoH3381 downH3381 and makeH7901 your bedH7901 with the 39uncircumcisedH6189.’ 20They shall fallH5307 in the midstH8432 of those who are killedH2491 by the swordH2719. 40She is turnedH5414 overH5414 to the swordH2719; they have 41draggedH4900 her and allH3605 her hordesH1995 awayH4900. 21The 42strongH410 among the mightyH1368 onesH1368 shall speakH1696 of him and his helpersH1368 from the midstH8432 of SheolH7585: ‘They have goneH3381 downH3381, they lieH7901 stillH7901, the uncircumcisedH6189, killedH2491 by the swordH2719.’

22“43AssyriaH804 is thereH8033 and allH3605 her companyH6951; 44her gravesH6913 are allH5439 aroundH5439 45her. AllH3605 of them killedH2491, fallenH5307 by the swordH2719, 23whoseH834 46gravesH6913 are setH5414 in the remotestH3411 partsH3411 of the pitH953, and her companyH6951 is allH5439 aroundH5439 her graveH6900. AllH3605 of them killedH2491, fallenH5307 by the swordH2719, whoH834 47spreadH5414 terrorH2851 in the landH776 of the livingH2416.

24“48ElamH5867 is thereH8033 and allH3605 her hordesH1995 aroundH5439 her graveH6900; allH3605 of them killedH2491, fallenH5307 by the swordH2719, whoH834 wentH3381 downH3381 uncircumcisedH6189 to the 49lowerH8482 partsH8482 of the earthH776, whoH834 inflictedH5414 their terrorH2851 on the 50landH776 of the livingH2416, and 51boreH5375 their disgraceH3639 with those who goH3381 downH3381 to the pitH953. 25They have madeH5414 a 52bedH4904 for her amongH8432 the slainH2491 with allH3605 her hordesH1995. Her gravesH6913 are aroundH5439 it, they are allH3605 uncircumcisedH6189, killedH2491 by the swordH2719 (althoughH3588 their terrorH2851 was 53inflictedH5414 on the landH776 of the livingH2416), and they boreH5375 their disgraceH3639 with those who goH3381 downH3381 to the pitH953; 54they were putH5414 in the midstH8432 of the slainH2491.

26“55MeshechH4902, 56TubalH8422, and allH3605 their hordesH1995 are thereH8033; their gravesH6913 57surroundH5439 them. AllH3605 of them were killedH2490 by the swordH2719 58uncircumcisedH6189, thoughH3588 they inflictedH5414 their terrorH2851 on the landH776 of the livingH2416. 2759NorH3808 do they lieH7901 besideH854 the fallenH5307 6061heroesH1368 of the uncircumcisedH6189, whoH834 wentH3381 downH3381 to SheolH7585 with their weaponsH3627 of warH4421 and whose swordsH2719 were placedH5414 underH8478 their headsH7218; but the punishmentH5771 forH5771 their 62wrongdoingH5771 restedH1961 on their bonesH6106, thoughH3588 the terrorH2851 of these 63heroesH1368 was once in the landH776 of the livingH2416. 28But in the midstH8432 of the uncircumcisedH6189 you will be brokenH7665 and lieH7901 with those killedH2491 by the swordH2719.

29“ThereH8033 also is 64EdomH112, its kingsH4428 and allH3605 its 65princesH5387, whoH834 66despite all their mightH1369 are laidH5414 with those killedH2491 by the swordH2719; they will lieH7901 with the uncircumcisedH6189 and with those who goH3381 downH3381 to the pitH953.

30“ThereH8033 also are the 67chiefsH5257 of the 68northH6828, allH3605 of them, and allH3605 the 69SidoniansH6722, whoH834 in spite of the terrorH2851 resulting from their mightH1369, inH954 shameH954 wentH3381 downH3381 with the slainH2491. So they layH7901 downH7901 uncircumcisedH6189 with those killedH2491 by the swordH2719 and boreH5375 their disgraceH3639 with those who goH3381 downH3381 to the pitH953.

31“These PharaohH6547 will seeH7200, and he will 70findH5162 consolationH5162 regardingH5921 allH3605 his hordesH1995 killedH2491 by the swordH2719, PharaohH6547 and allH3605 his armyH2428,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 32“ThoughH3588 I inflictedH5414 the terrorH2851 of him on the landH776 of the livingH2416, yet he will be laidH7901 toH7901 restH7901 amongH8432 the uncircumcisedH6189 along with those killedH2491 by the swordH2719, PharaohH6547 and allH3605 his hordesH1995,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
