1And it came to pass in the eleventh <0259> <06240> year <08141>_, in the third <07992> [month], in the first <0259> [day] of the month <02320>_, [that] the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me, saying <0559> (8800)_,
2Son <01121> of man <0120>_, speak <0559> (8798) unto Pharaoh <06547> king <04428> of Egypt <04714>_, and to his multitude <01995>_; Whom art thou like <01819> (8804) in thy greatness <01433>_?
3Behold, the Assyrian <0804> [was] a cedar <0730> in Lebanon <03844> with fair <03303> branches <06057>_, and with a shadowing <06751> (8688) shroud <02793>_, and of an high <01362> stature <06967>_; and his top <06788> was among the thick boughs <05688>_. {with fair branches: Heb. fair of branches}
4The waters <04325> made him great <01431> (8765)_, the deep <08415> set him up on high <07311> (8790) with her rivers <05104> running <01980> (8802) round about <05439> his plants <04302>_, and sent out <07971> (8765) her little rivers <08585> unto all the trees <06086> of the field <07704>_. {made...: or, nourished him} {set...: or, brought him up} {little rivers: or, conduits}
5Therefore his height <06967> was exalted <01361> (8804) above all the trees <06086> of the field <07704>_, and his boughs <05634> were multiplied <07235> (8799)_, and his branches <06288> became long <0748> (8799) because of the multitude <07227> of waters <04325>_, when he shot forth <07971> (8763)_. {when...: or, when it sent them forth}
6All the fowls <05775> of heaven <08064> made their nests <07077> (8765) in his boughs <05589>_, and under his branches <06288> did all the beasts <02416> of the field <07704> bring forth their young <03205> (8804)_, and under his shadow <06738> dwelt <03427> (8799) all great <07227> nations <01471>_.
7Thus was he fair <03302> (8799) in his greatness <01433>_, in the length <0753> of his branches <01808>_: for his root <08328> was by great <07227> waters <04325>_.
8The cedars <0730> in the garden <01588> of God <0430> could not hide <06004> (8804) him: the fir trees <01265> were not like <01819> (8804) his boughs <05589>_, and the chesnut trees <06196> were not like his branches <06288>_; nor any tree <06086> in the garden <01588> of God <0430> was like <01819> (8804) unto him in his beauty <03308>_.
9I have made <06213> (8804) him fair <03303> by the multitude <07230> of his branches <01808>_: so that all the trees <06086> of Eden <05731>_, that [were] in the garden <01588> of God <0430>_, envied <07065> (8762) him.
10Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; Because thou hast lifted up <01361> (8804) thyself in height <06967>_, and he hath shot up <05414> (8799) his top <06788> among the thick boughs <05688>_, and his heart <03824> is lifted up <07311> (8804) in his height <01363>_;
11I have therefore delivered <05414> (8799) him into the hand <03027> of the mighty one <0410> of the heathen <01471>_; he shall surely <06213> (8800) deal <06213> (8799) with him: I have driven him out <01644> (8765) for his wickedness <07562>_. {he...: Heb. in doing he shall do unto him}
12And strangers <02114> (8801)_, the terrible <06184> of the nations <01471>_, have cut him off <03772> (8799)_, and have left <05203> (8799) him: upon the mountains <02022> and in all the valleys <01516> his branches <01808> are fallen <05307> (8804)_, and his boughs <06288> are broken <07665> (8735) by all the rivers <0650> of the land <0776>_; and all the people <05971> of the earth <0776> are gone down <03381> (8799) from his shadow <06738>_, and have left <05203> (8799) him.
13Upon his ruin <04658> shall all the fowls <05775> of the heaven <08064> remain <07931> (8799)_, and all the beasts <02416> of the field <07704> shall be upon his branches <06288>_:
14To the end that none of all the trees <06086> by the waters <04325> exalt <01361> (8799) themselves for their height <06967>_, neither shoot up <05414> (8799) their top <06788> among the thick boughs <05688>_, neither their trees <0352> stand up <05975> (8799) in their height <01363>_, all that drink <08354> (8802) water <04325>_: for they are all delivered <05414> (8738) unto death <04194>_, to the nether parts <08482> of the earth <0776>_, in the midst <08432> of the children <01121> of men <0120>_, with them that go down <03381> (8802) to the pit <0953>_. {their trees...: or, stand upon themselves for their height}
15Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; In the day <03117> when he went down <03381> (8800) to the grave <07585> I caused a mourning <056> (8689)_: I covered <03680> (8765) the deep <08415> for him, and I restrained <04513> (8799) the floods <05104> thereof, and the great <07227> waters <04325> were stayed <03607> (8735)_: and I caused Lebanon <03844> to mourn <06937> (8686) for him, and all the trees <06086> of the field <07704> fainted <05969> for him. {to mourn: Heb. to be black}
16I made the nations <01471> to shake <07493> (8689) at the sound <06963> of his fall <04658>_, when I cast him down <03381> (8687) to hell <07585> with them that descend <03381> (8802) into the pit <0953>_: and all the trees <06086> of Eden <05731>_, the choice <04005> and best <02896> of Lebanon <03844>_, all that drink <08354> (8802) water <04325>_, shall be comforted <05162> (8735) in the nether parts <08482> of the earth <0776>_.
17They also went down <03381> (8804) into hell <07585> with him unto [them that be] slain <02491> with the sword <02719>_; and [they that were] his arm <02220>_, [that] dwelt <03427> (8804) under his shadow <06738> in the midst <08432> of the heathen <01471>_.
18To whom art thou thus like <01819> (8804) in glory <03519> and in greatness <01433> among the trees <06086> of Eden <05731>_? yet shalt thou be brought down <03381> (8717) with the trees <06086> of Eden <05731> unto the nether parts <08482> of the earth <0776>_: thou shalt lie <07901> (8799) in the midst <08432> of the uncircumcised <06189> with [them that be] slain <02491> by the sword <02719>_. This [is] Pharaoh <06547> and all his multitude <01995>_, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_.
