Dual Panel1In the twelfth<8147><6240> year<8141>, in the twelfth<8147><6240> month, on the first<259> of the month<2320>, the word<1697> of the LORD<3068> came<1961> to me saying<559>,
2"Son<1121> of man<120>, take<5375> up a lamentation<7015> over<5921> Pharaoh<6547> king<4428> of Egypt<4714> and say<559> to him, 'You compared<1819> yourself to a young<3715> lion<3715> of the nations<1471>, Yet you are like the monster<8577> in the seas<3220>; And you burst<1518> forth<1518> in your rivers<5104> And muddied<1804> the waters<4325> with your feet<7272> And fouled<7511> their rivers<5104>.'"
3Thus<3541> says<559> the Lord<136> GOD<3068>, "Now I will spread<6566> My net<7568> over<5921> you With a company<6951> of many<7227> peoples<5971>, And they shall lift<5927> you up in My net<2764>.
4"I will leave<5203> you on the land<776>; I will cast<2904> you on the open<6440> field<7704>. And I will cause all<3605> the birds<5775> of the heavens<8064> to dwell<7931> on you, And I will satisfy<7646> the beasts<2421> of the whole<3605> earth<776> with you.
5"I will lay<5414> your flesh<1320> on the mountains<2022> And fill<4390> the valleys<1516> with your refuse<7419>.
6"I will also make the land<776> drink<8248> the discharge<6824> of your blood<1818> As far<413> as the mountains<2022>, And the ravines<650> will be full<4390> of you.
7"And when I extinguish<3518> you, I will cover<3680> the heavens<8064> and darken<6937> their stars<3556>; I will cover<3680> the sun<8121> with a cloud<6051> And the moon<3394> will not give<215> its light<216>.
8"All<3605> the shining<3974> lights<216> in the heavens<8064> I will darken<6937> over<5921> you And will set<5414> darkness<2822> on your land<776>," Declares<5002> the Lord<136> GOD<3068>.
9"I will also trouble<3707> the hearts<3820> of many<7227> peoples<5971> when I bring<935> your destruction<7667> among the nations<1471>, into lands<776> which<834> you have not known<3045>.
10"I will make<8074> many<7227> peoples<5971> appalled<8074> at you, and their kings<4428> will be horribly<8178> afraid<8175> of you when I brandish<5774> My sword<2719> before<5921><6440> them; and they will tremble<2729> every moment<7281>, every<376> man<376> for his own life<5315>, on the day<3117> of your fall<4658>."
11For thus<3541> says<559> the Lord<136> GOD<3068>, "The sword<2719> of the king<4428> of Babylon<894> will come<935> upon you.
12"By the swords<2719> of the mighty<1368> ones<1368> I will cause your hordes<1995> to fall<5307>; all<3605> of them are tyrants<6184> of the nations<1471>, And they will devastate<7703> the pride<1347> of Egypt<4714>, And all<3605> its hordes<1995> will be destroyed<8045>.
13"I will also destroy<6> all<3605> its cattle<929> from beside<5921> many<7227> waters<4325>; And the foot<7272> of man<120> will not muddy<1804> them anymore<5750> And the hoofs<6541> of beasts<929> will not muddy<1804> them.
14"Then<227> I will make their waters<4325> settle<8257> And will cause their rivers<5104> to run<1980> like oil<8081>," Declares<5002> the Lord<136> GOD<3068>.
15"When I make<5414> the land<776> of Egypt<4714> a desolation<8077>, And the land<776> is destitute<8074> of that which<4393> filled<4393> it, When I smite<5221> all<3605> those who live<3427> in it, Then they shall know<3045> that I am the LORD<3068>.
16"This<1931> is a lamentation<7015> and they shall chant<6969> it. The daughters<1323> of the nations<1471> shall chant<6969> it. Over<5921> Egypt<4714> and over<5921> all<3605> her hordes<1995> they shall chant<6969> it," declares<5002> the Lord<136> GOD<3068>.
17In the twelfth<8147><6240> year<8141>, on the fifteenth<2568><6240> of the month<2320>, the word<1697> of the LORD<3068> came<1961> to me saying<559>,
18"Son<1121> of man<120>, wail<5091> for the hordes<1995> of Egypt<4714> and bring<3381> it down<3381>, her and the daughters<1323> of the powerful<117> nations<1471>, to the nether<8482> world<776>, with those who go<3381> down<3381> to the pit<953>;
19'Whom<4310> do you surpass<5276> in beauty<5276>? Go<3381> down<3381> and make<7901> your bed<7901> with the uncircumcised<6189>.'
20"They shall fall<5307> in the midst<8432> of those who are slain<2491> by the sword<2719>. She is given<5414> over to the sword<2719>; they have drawn<4900> her and all<3605> her hordes<1995> away<4900>.
21"The strong<410> among the mighty<1368> ones<1368> shall speak<1696> of him and his helpers<1368> from the midst<8432> of Sheol<7585>, 'They have gone<3381> down<3381>, they lie<7901> still<7901>, the uncircumcised<6189>, slain<2491> by the sword<2719>.'
22"Assyria<804> is there<8033> and all<3605> her company<6951>; her graves<6913> are round<5439> about<5439> her. All<3605> of them are slain<2491>, fallen<5307> by the sword<2719>,
23whose<834> graves<6913> are set<5414> in the remotest<3411> parts<3411> of the pit<953> and her company<6951> is round<5439> about<5439> her grave<6900>. All<3605> of them are slain<2491>, fallen<5307> by the sword<2719>, who<834> spread<5414> terror<2851> in the land<776> of the living<2416>.
24"Elam<5867> is there<8033> and all<3605> her hordes<1995> around<5439> her grave<6900>; all<3605> of them slain<2491>, fallen<5307> by the sword<2719>, who<834> went<3381> down<3381> uncircumcised<6189> to the lower<8482> parts<8482> of the earth<776>, who<834> instilled<5414> their terror<2851> in the land<776> of the living<2416> and bore<5375> their disgrace<3639> with those who went<3381> down<3381> to the pit<953>.
25"They have made<5414> a bed<4904> for her among<8432> the slain<2491> with all<3605> her hordes<1995>. Her graves<6913> are around<5439> it, they are all<3605> uncircumcised<6189>, slain<2491> by the sword<2719> (although<3588> their terror<2851> was instilled<5414> in the land<776> of the living<2416>), and they bore<5375> their disgrace<3639> with those who go<3381> down<3381> to the pit<953>; they were put<5414> in the midst<8432> of the slain<2491>.
26"Meshech<4902>, Tubal<8422> and all<3605> their hordes<1995> are there<8033>; their graves<6913> surround<5439> them. All<3605> of them were slain<2490> by the sword<2719> uncircumcised<6189>, though<3588> they instilled<5414> their terror<2851> in the land<776> of the living<2416>.
27"Nor<3808> do they lie<7901> beside<854> the fallen<5307> heroes<1368> of the uncircumcised<6189>, who<834> went<3381> down<3381> to Sheol<7585> with their weapons<3627> of war<4421> and whose swords<2719> were laid<5414> under<8478> their heads<7218>; but the punishment<5771> for their iniquity<5771> rested<1961> on their bones<6106>, though<3588> the terror<2851> of these heroes<1368> was once in the land<776> of the living<2416>.
28"But in the midst<8432> of the uncircumcised<6189> you will be broken<7665> and lie<7901> with those slain<2491> by the sword<2719>.
29"There<8033> also is Edom<112>, its kings<4428> and all<3605> its princes<5387>, who<834> for all their might<1369> are laid<5414> with those slain<2491> by the sword<2719>; they will lie<7901> with the uncircumcised<6189> and with those who go<3381> down<3381> to the pit<953>.
30"There<8033> also are the chiefs<5257> of the north<6828>, all<3605> of them, and all<3605> the Sidonians<6722>, who<834> in spite of the terror<2851> resulting from their might<1369>, in shame<954> went<3381> down<3381> with the slain<2491>. So they lay<7901> down<7901> uncircumcised<6189> with those slain<2491> by the sword<2719> and bore<5375> their disgrace<3639> with those who go<3381> down<3381> to the pit<953>.
31"These Pharaoh<6547> will see<7200>, and he will be comforted<5162> for all<3605> his hordes<1995> slain<2491> by the sword<2719>, even Pharaoh<6547> and all<3605> his army<2428>," declares<5002> the Lord<136> GOD<3068>.
32"Though<3588> I instilled<5414> a terror<2851> of him in the land<776> of the living<2416>, yet he will be made to lie<7901> down<7901> among<8432> the uncircumcised<6189> along with those slain<2491> by the sword<2719>, even Pharaoh<6547> and all<3605> his hordes<1995>," declares<5002> the Lord<136> GOD<3068>.
