Ezekiel 31
Revised Version 1895
1And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in the eleventhH6240 yearH8141, in the thirdH7992 monthH2320, in the firstH259 dayH2320 of the monthH2320, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto meH413, sayingH559, 2SonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and to his multitudeH1995; WhomH4310 art thou like in thy greatnessH1433? 3BeholdH2009, the Assyrian was a cedarH730 in LebanonH3844 with fairH3303 branchesH6057, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an highH6967 statureH6967; and his topH6788 was among the thick boughsH6057. 4The watersH4325 nourished him, the deepH8415 madeH3605 him to growH1431: herH3605 riversH5104 ranH1980 roundH5439 aboutH5439 herH3605 plantation; and sheH1980 sentH7971 outH7971 herH3605 channels unto allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704. 5Therefore his statureH6967 was exaltedH1361 aboveH5921 allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704: and his boughsH5634 were multipliedH7235, and his branchesH6288 became longH748 by reasonH3651 of manyH7227 watersH4325, when he shotH7971 them forthH7971. 6AllH3605 the fowls of heavenH8064 madeH3605 their nestsH7077 in his boughsH6288, and underH8478 his branchesH6288 did allH3605 the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 bringH3205 forthH3205 their young, and underH8478 his shadowH6738 dweltH3427 allH3605 greatH7227 nationsH1471. 7ThusH1961 was he fair in his greatnessH1433, in the lengthH753 of his branchesH1808: for his rootH8328 was by manyH7227 watersH4325. 8The cedarsH730 in the gardenH1588 of GodH430 could notH3808 hide him: the firH1265 treesH6086 were notH3808 like his boughsH6288, and the planeH6196 treesH6086 were notH3808 as his branchesH6288; norH3808 was anyH3605 treeH6086 in the gardenH1588 of GodH430 like unto him in his beautyH3308. 9I madeH6213 him fairH3303 by the multitudeH7230 of his branchesH1808: soH6213 that allH3605 the treesH6086 of EdenH5731, that were in the gardenH1588 of GodH430, enviedH7065 him. 10Therefore thusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GODH136: BecauseH3282 thou art exaltedH7311 in statureH6967, and he hath setH5414 his topH6788 among the thick boughs, and his heartH3824 is liftedH7311 upH7311 in his heightH6967; 11I will evenH6213 deliverH5414 him intoH3027 the handH3027 of the mighty one of the nationsH1471; he shall surelyH5414 dealH6213 with him: I have drivenH1644 him outH1644 for his wickednessH7562. 12And strangersH2114, the terrible of the nationsH1471, have cutH3772 him offH3772, and have leftH5203 him: uponH413 the mountainsH2022 and in allH3605 the valleysH1516 his branchesH1808 are fallenH5307, and his boughsH6288 are brokenH7665 by allH3605 the watercourses of the landH776; and allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776 are goneH3381 downH3381 from his shadowH6738, and have leftH5203 him. 13UponH5921 his ruinH4658 allH3605 the fowls of the heavenH8064 shall dwellH7931, and allH3605 the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall be uponH5921 his branchesH6288: 14to the end that noneH3808 of allH3605 the treesH6086 by the watersH4325 exalt themselves in their statureH6967, neitherH3808 setH5414 their topH6788 among the thick boughs, norH3808 that their mighty onesH1121 standH5975 upH5975 in their heightH6967, evenH3588 allH3605 that drinkH8354 waterH4325: for they are allH3605 deliveredH5414 unto deathH4194, to the netherH8482 partsH8482 of the earthH776, in the midstH8432 of the childrenH1121 of menH120, with them that goH3381 downH3381 to the pitH953. 15ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: In the dayH3117 when he wentH3381 downH3381 to hell I causedH56 a mourningH6937: I coveredH3680 the deepH8415 for him, and I restrainedH3607 the riversH5104 thereof, and the greatH7227 watersH4325 were stayed: and I causedH56 LebanonH3844 to mournH56 for him, and allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 fainted for him. 16I madeH3605 the nationsH1471 to shakeH7493 at the soundH6963 of his fallH4658, when I cast him downH3381 to hell with them that descendH3381 intoH776 the pitH953: and allH3605 the treesH6086 of EdenH5731, the choiceH4005 and bestH2896 of LebanonH3844, allH3605 that drinkH8354 waterH4325, were comfortedH5162 in the netherH8482 partsH8482 of the earthH776. 17They also wentH3381 downH3381 intoH413 hell with him unto them that be slainH2491 by the swordH2719; yea, they that were his armH2220, that dweltH3427 underH3427 his shadowH6738 in the midstH8432 of the nationsH1471. 18To whomH4310 art thou thusH3602 like in gloryH3519 and in greatnessH1433 among the treesH6086 of EdenH5731? yet shalt thou be broughtH3381 downH3381 with the treesH6086 of EdenH5731 unto the netherH8482 partsH8482 of the earthH776: thou shalt lieH7901 in the midstH8432 of the uncircumcisedH6189, with them that be slainH2491 by the swordH2719. This is PharaohH6547 and allH3605 his multitudeH1995, saith the LordH136 GODH136.
