Ezekiel 32:1-30

Ezekiel 32:1-30

[1] And it came to pass in the twelfth  year,  in the twelfth month,  in the first  day of the month,  that the word  of the LORD  came unto me, saying,  [2] Son  of man,  take up  a lamentation  for Pharaoh  king  of Egypt,  and say  unto him, Thou art like  a young lion  of the nations,  and thou art as a whale  in the seas:  and thou camest forth  with thy rivers,  and troubledst  the waters  with thy feet,  and fouledst  their rivers.  [3] Thus saith  the Lord  GOD;  I will therefore spread out  my net  over thee with a company  of many  people;  and they shall bring thee up  in my net.  [4] Then will I leave  thee upon the land,  I will cast thee forth  upon the open  field,  and will cause all the fowls  of the heaven  to remain  upon thee, and I will fill  the beasts  of the whole earth  [5] And I will lay  thy flesh  upon the mountains,  and fill  the valleys  with thy height.  [6] I will also water  with thy blood  the land  wherein thou swimmest,  even to the mountains;  and the rivers  shall be full  [7] And when I shall put thee out,  I will cover  the heaven,  the stars  thereof dark;  I will cover  the sun  with a cloud,  and the moon  shall not give  her light.  [8] All the bright  lights  of heaven  will I make dark  over thee, and set  darkness  upon thy land,  saith  the Lord  GOD.  [9] I will also vex  the hearts  of many  people,  when I shall bring  thy destruction  among the nations,  into the countries  which thou hast not known.  [10] Yea, I will make many  people  amazed  at thee, and their kings  shall be horribly  afraid  for thee, when I shall brandish  my sword  before them;  and they shall tremble  at every moment,  every man  for his own life,  in the day  of thy fall.  [11] For thus saith  the Lord  The sword  of the king  of Babylon  shall come  [12] By the swords  of the mighty  will I cause thy multitude  to fall,  the terrible  of the nations,  all of them: and they shall spoil  the pomp  of Egypt,  and all the multitude  thereof shall be destroyed.  [13] I will destroy  also all the beasts  thereof from  beside the great  waters;  neither shall the foot  of man  trouble  them any more, nor the hoofs  of beasts  trouble  [14] Then will I make their waters  deep,  and cause their rivers  like oil,  saith  the Lord  GOD.  [15] When I shall make  the land  of Egypt  desolate,  and the country  shall be destitute  of that whereof it was full,  when I shall smite  all them that dwell  therein, then shall they know  that I am the LORD.  [16] This is the lamentation  wherewith they shall lament  her: the daughters  of the nations  shall lament  for her, even for Egypt,  and for all her multitude,  saith  the Lord  GOD.  [17] It came to pass also in the twelfth  year,  in the fifteenth  day of the month,  that the word  of the LORD  came unto me, saying,  [18] Son  of man,  wail  for the multitude  of Egypt,  and cast them down,  even her, and the daughters  of the famous  nations,  unto the nether parts  of the earth,  with them that go down  into the pit.  [19] Whom dost thou pass in beauty?  go down,  and be thou laid  with the uncircumcised.  [20] They shall fall  in the midst  of them that are slain  by the sword:  she is delivered  to the sword:  draw  her and all her multitudes.  [21] The strong  among the mighty  shall speak  to him out of the midst  of hell  with them that help  him: they are gone down,  they lie  uncircumcised,  slain  by the sword.  [22] Asshur  is there and all her company:  his graves  are about  him: all of them slain,  fallen  by the sword:  [23] Whose graves  are set  in the sides  of the pit,  and her company  is round about  her grave:  all of them slain,  fallen  by the sword,  which caused  terror  in the land  of the living.  [24] There is Elam  and all her multitude  round about  her grave,  all of them slain,  fallen  by the sword,  which are gone down  uncircumcised  into the nether parts  of the earth,  which caused  their terror  in the land  of the living;  yet have they borne  their shame  with them that go down  to the pit.  [25] They have set  her a bed  in the midst  of the slain  with all her multitude:  her graves  are round about  him: all of them uncircumcised,  slain  by the sword:  though their terror  was caused  in the land  of the living,  yet have they borne  their shame  with them that go down  to the pit:  he is put  in the midst  of them that be slain.  [26] There is Meshech,  Tubal,  and all her multitude:  her graves  are round about  him: all of them uncircumcised,  slain  by the sword,  though they caused  their terror  in the land  of the living.  [27] And they shall not lie  with the mighty  that are fallen  of the uncircumcised,  which are gone down  to hell  with their weapons  of war:  and they have laid  their swords  under their heads,  but their iniquities  shall be upon their bones,  though they were the terror  of the mighty  in the land  of the living.  [28] Yea, thou shalt be broken  in the midst  of the uncircumcised,  and shalt lie  with them that are slain  with the sword.  [29] There is Edom,  her kings,  and all her princes,  which with their might  are laid  by them that were slain  by the sword:  they shall lie  with the uncircumcised,  and with them that go down  to the pit.  [30] There be the princes  of the north,  all of them, and all the Zidonians,  which are gone down  with the slain;  with their terror  they are ashamed  of their might;  and they lie  uncircumcised  with them that be slain  by the sword,  and bear  their shame  with them that go down  to the pit.
