Ezekiel

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 with thee. 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 of thee. 7 And 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. 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 GOD; The sword of the king of Baby­lon shall come upon thee. 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 them. 14 Then will I make their wa­ters deep, and cause their rivers to run 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 her: they 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. 31 Pharaoh 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. 32 For 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.
