Ezekiel 32
1And
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,
2Son 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.
3Thus 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.
4Then
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 with thee.
5And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height.
6I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains;
and the rivers shall be full of thee.
7And
when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and
the moon shall not give her light.
8All the
bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
9I 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.
10Yea, 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.
11For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword
of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.
12By
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.
13I 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 them.
14Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD.
15When 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.
16This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the
nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
17It 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,
18Son
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.
19Whom
dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.
20They 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.
21The 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.
22Asshur is there and
all her company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:
23Whose 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.
24There 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.
25They 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.
26There 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.
27And 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.
28Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with
them that are slain with the sword.
29There
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.
30There 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.
31Pharaoh
shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the
Lord GOD.
32For I have caused my terror in
the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even
Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
