1And it came to pass in the twelfth <08147> <06240> year <08141>_, in the twelfth month <02320>_, 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>_, take up <05375> (8798) a lamentation <07015> for Pharaoh <06547> king <04428> of Egypt <04714>_, and say <0559> (8804) unto him, Thou art like <01819> (8738) a young lion <03715> of the nations <01471>_, and thou [art] as a whale <08577> (8676) <08565> in the seas <03220>_: and thou camest forth <01518> (8799) with thy rivers <05104>_, and troubledst <01804> (8799) the waters <04325> with thy feet <07272>_, and fouledst <07515> (8799) their rivers <05104>_. {whale: or, dragon}
3Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; I will therefore spread out <06566> (8804) my net <07568> over thee with a company <06951> of many <07227> people <05971>_; and they shall bring thee up <05927> (8689) in my net <02764>_.
4Then will I leave <05203> (8804) thee upon the land <0776>_, I will cast thee forth <02904> (8686) upon the open <06440> field <07704>_, and will cause all the fowls <05775> of the heaven <08064> to remain <07931> (8689) upon thee, and I will fill <07646> (8689) the beasts <02416> of the whole earth <0776> with thee.
5And I will lay <05414> (8804) thy flesh <01320> upon the mountains <02022>_, and fill <04390> (8765) the valleys <01516> with thy height <07419>_.
6I will also water <08248> (8689) with thy blood <01818> the land <0776> wherein thou swimmest <06824>_, [even] to the mountains <02022>_; and the rivers <0650> shall be full <04390> (8735) of thee. {the land wherein...: or, the land of thy swimming}
7And when I shall put thee out <03518> (8763)_, I will cover <03680> (8765) the heaven <08064>_, and make <06937> (0) the stars <03556> thereof dark <06937> (8689)_; I will cover <03680> (8762) the sun <08121> with a cloud <06051>_, and the moon <03394> shall not give <0215> (8686) her light <0216>_. {put...: or, extinguish thee}
8All the bright <03974> lights <0216> of heaven <08064> will I make dark <06937> (8686) over thee, and set <05414> (8804) darkness <02822> upon thy land <0776>_, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_. {bright...: Heb. lights of the light in heaven} {dark: Heb. them dark}
9I will also vex <03707> (8689) the hearts <03820> of many <07227> people <05971>_, when I shall bring <0935> (8687) thy destruction <07667> among the nations <01471>_, into the countries <0776> which thou hast not known <03045> (8804)_. {vex: Heb. provoke to anger, or, grief}
10Yea, I will make many <07227> people <05971> amazed <08074> (8689) at thee, and their kings <04428> shall be horribly <08178> afraid <08175> (8799) for thee, when I shall brandish <05774> (8788) my sword <02719> before them <06440>_; and they shall tremble <02729> (8804) at [every] moment <07281>_, every man <0376> for his own life <05315>_, in the day <03117> of thy fall <04658>_.
11For thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; The sword <02719> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> shall come <0935> (8799) upon thee.
12By the swords <02719> of the mighty <01368> will I cause thy multitude <01995> to fall <05307> (8686)_, the terrible <06184> of the nations <01471>_, all of them: and they shall spoil <07703> (8804) the pomp <01347> of Egypt <04714>_, and all the multitude <01995> thereof shall be destroyed <08045> (8738)_.
13I will destroy <06> (8689) also all the beasts <0929> thereof from <05921> beside the great <07227> waters <04325>_; neither shall the foot <07272> of man <0120> trouble <01804> (8799) them any more, nor the hoofs <06541> of beasts <0929> trouble <01804> (8799) them.
14Then will I make their waters <04325> deep <08257> (8686)_, and cause their rivers <05104> to run <03212> (8686) like oil <08081>_, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_.
15When I shall make <05414> (8800) the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> desolate <08077>_, and the country <0776> shall be destitute <08074> (8737) of that whereof it was full <04393>_, when I shall smite <05221> (8687) all them that dwell <03427> (8802) therein, then shall they know <03045> (8804) that I [am] the LORD <03068>_. {destitute...: Heb. desolate from the fulness thereof}
16This [is] the lamentation <07015> wherewith they shall lament <06969> (8790) her: the daughters <01323> of the nations <01471> shall lament <06969> (8787) her: they shall lament <06969> (8787) for her, [even] for Egypt <04714>_, and for all her multitude <01995>_, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_.
17It came to pass also in the twelfth <08147> <06240> year <08141>_, in the fifteenth <02568> <06240> [day] of the month <02320>_, [that] the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me, saying <0559> (8800)_,
18Son <01121> of man <0120>_, wail <05091> (8798) for the multitude <01995> of Egypt <04714>_, and cast them down <03381> (8685)_, [even] her, and the daughters <01323> of the famous <0117> nations <01471>_, unto the nether parts <08482> of the earth <0776>_, with them that go down <03381> (8802) into the pit <0953>_.
19Whom dost thou pass in beauty <05276> (8804)_? go down <03381> (8798)_, and be thou laid <07901> (8713) with the uncircumcised <06189>_.
20They shall fall <05307> (8799) in the midst <08432> of [them that are] slain <02491> by the sword <02719>_: she is delivered <05414> (8738) to the sword <02719>_: draw <04900> (8798) her and all her multitudes <01995>_. {she...: or, the sword is laid}
21The strong <0410> among the mighty <01368> shall speak <01696> (8762) to him out of the midst <08432> of hell <07585> with them that help <05826> (8802) him: they are gone down <03381> (8804)_, they lie <07901> (8804) uncircumcised <06189>_, slain <02491> by the sword <02719>_.
22Asshur <0804> [is] there and all her company <06951>_: his graves <06913> [are] about <05439> him: all of them slain <02491>_, fallen <05307> (8802) by the sword <02719>_:
23Whose graves <06913> are set <05414> (8738) in the sides <03411> of the pit <0953>_, and her company <06951> is round about <05439> her grave <06900>_: all of them slain <02491>_, fallen <05307> (8802) by the sword <02719>_, which caused <05414> (8804) terror <02851> in the land <0776> of the living <02416>_. {terror: or, dismaying}
24There [is] Elam <05867> and all her multitude <01995> round about <05439> her grave <06900>_, all of them slain <02491>_, fallen <05307> (8802) by the sword <02719>_, which are gone down <03381> (8804) uncircumcised <06189> into the nether parts <08482> of the earth <0776>_, which caused <05414> (8804) their terror <02851> in the land <0776> of the living <02416>_; yet have they borne <05375> (8799) their shame <03639> with them that go down <03381> (8802) to the pit <0953>_.
25They have set <05414> (8804) her a bed <04904> in the midst <08432> of the slain <02491> with all her multitude <01995>_: her graves <06913> [are] round about <05439> him: all of them uncircumcised <06189>_, slain <02491> by the sword <02719>_: though their terror <02851> was caused <05414> (8737) in the land <0776> of the living <02416>_, yet have they borne <05375> (8799) their shame <03639> with them that go down <03381> (8802) to the pit <0953>_: he is put <05414> (8738) in the midst <08432> of [them that be] slain <02491>_.
26There [is] Meshech <04902>_, Tubal <08422>_, and all her multitude <01995>_: her graves <06913> [are] round about <05439> him: all of them uncircumcised <06189>_, slain <02490> (8794) by the sword <02719>_, though they caused <05414> (8804) their terror <02851> in the land <0776> of the living <02416>_.
27And they shall not lie <07901> (8799) with the mighty <01368> [that are] fallen <05307> (8802) of the uncircumcised <06189>_, which are gone down <03381> (8804) to hell <07585> with their weapons <03627> of war <04421>_: and they have laid <05414> (8799) their swords <02719> under their heads <07218>_, but their iniquities <05771> shall be upon their bones <06106>_, though [they were] the terror <02851> of the mighty <01368> in the land <0776> of the living <02416>_. {with their...: Heb. with weapons of their war}
28Yea, thou shalt be broken <07665> (8735) in the midst <08432> of the uncircumcised <06189>_, and shalt lie <07901> (8799) with [them that are] slain <02491> with the sword <02719>_.
29There [is] Edom <0123>_, her kings <04428>_, and all her princes <05387>_, which with their might <01369> are laid <05414> (8738) by [them that were] slain <02491> by the sword <02719>_: they shall lie <07901> (8799) with the uncircumcised <06189>_, and with them that go down <03381> (8802) to the pit <0953>_. {laid: Heb. given, or, put}
30There [be] the princes <05257> of the north <06828>_, all of them, and all the Zidonians <06722>_, which are gone down <03381> (8804) with the slain <02491>_; with their terror <02851> they are ashamed <0954> (8802) of their might <01369>_; and they lie <07901> (8799) uncircumcised <06189> with [them that be] slain <02491> by the sword <02719>_, and bear <05375> (8799) their shame <03639> with them that go down <03381> (8802) to the pit <0953>_.
31Pharaoh <06547> shall see <07200> (8799) them, and shall be comforted <05162> (8738) over all his multitude <01995>_, [even] Pharaoh <06547> and all his army <02428> slain <02491> by the sword <02719>_, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_.
32For I have caused <05414> (8804) my terror <02851> in the land <0776> of the living <02416>_: and he shall be laid <07901> (8717) in the midst <08432> of the uncircumcised <06189> with [them that are] slain <02491> with the sword <02719>_, [even] Pharaoh <06547> and all his multitude <01995>_, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_.
