Dual Panel1In the twelfth <06240> <08147> year <08141>, in the twelfth <06240> <08147> month <02320>, on the first <0259> of the month <02320>, the word <01697> of the Lord <03068> came <01961> to <0413> me:
2“Son <01121> of man <0120>, sing <05375> a lament <07015> for <05921> Pharaoh <06547> king <04428> of Egypt <04714>, and say <0559> to <0413> him: “‘You were like <01819> a lion <03715> among the nations <01471>, but you <0859> are a monster <08577> in the seas <03220>; you thrash <01518> about in your streams <05104>, stir up <01804> the water <04325> with your feet <07272>, and muddy <07515> your streams <05104>.
3“‘This is what <03541> the sovereign <0136> Lord <03069> says <0559>: “‘I will throw <06566> my net <07568> over <05921> you in the assembly <06951> of many <07227> peoples <05971>; and they will haul <05927> you up <05927> in my dragnet <02764>.
4I will leave <05203> you on <05921> the ground <0776>, I will fling <02904> you on the open <06440> field <07704>, I will allow all <03605> the birds <05775> of the sky <08064> to settle <07931> on <05921> you, and I will permit all <03605> the wild animals <0776> <02416> to gorge <07646> themselves on <04480> you.
5I will put <05414> your flesh <01320> on <05921> the mountains <02022>, and fill <04390> the valleys <01516> with your maggot-infested carcass <07419>.
6I will drench <08248> the land <0776> with the flow <06824> of your blood <01818> up to <0413> the mountains <02022>, and the ravines <0650> will be full <04390> of <04480> your blood.
7When I extinguish <03518> you, I will cover <03680> the sky <08064>; I will darken <06937> its stars <03556>. I will cover <03680> the sun <08121> with a cloud <06051>, and the moon <03394> will not <03808> shine <0215>.
8I will darken <06937> all <03605> the lights <0216> in the sky <08064> over <05921> you, and I will darken <02822> your land <0776>, declares <05002> the sovereign <0136> Lord <03069>.
9I will disturb <03820> <03707> many <07227> peoples <05971>, when I bring <0935> about your destruction <07667> among the nations <01471>, among countries <0776> you do not <03808> know <03045>.
10I will shock <08074> many <07227> peoples <05971> with <05921> you, and their kings <04428> will shiver <08175> with <05921> horror <08178> because of you. When I brandish <05774> my sword <02719> before <06440> them, every moment <07281> each <0376> one will tremble <02729> for his life <05315>, on the day <03117> of your fall <04658>.
11“‘For <03588> this is what <03541> the sovereign <0136> Lord <03068> says <0559>: “‘The sword <02719> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> will attack <0935> you.
12By the swords <02719> of the mighty warriors <01368> I will cause your hordes <01995> to fall <05307>– all <03605> of them are the most terrifying <06184> among the nations <01471>. They will devastate <07703> the pride <01347> of Egypt <04714>, and all <03605> its hordes <01995> will be destroyed <08045>.
13I will destroy <06> all <03605> its cattle <0929> beside <05921> the plentiful <07227> waters <04325>; and no <03808> human <0120> foot <07272> will disturb <01804> the waters again <05750>, nor <03808> will the hooves <06541> of cattle <0929> disturb <01804> them.
14Then <0227> I will make their waters <04325> calm <08257>, and will make their streams <05104> flow <01980> like olive oil <08081>, declares <05002> the sovereign <0136> Lord <03069>.
15When I turn <05414> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> into desolation <08077> and the land <0776> is destitute <08074> of everything <04393> that fills it, when I strike <05221> all <03605> those who live <03427> in it, then they will know <03045> that <03588> I <0589> am the Lord <03068>.’
16This <01931> is a lament <07015>; they will chant <06969> it. The daughters <01323> of the nations <01471> will chant <06969> it. They will chant <06969> it over <05921> Egypt <04714> and over <05921> all <03605> her hordes <01995>, declares <05002> the sovereign <03069> Lord <0136>.”
17In the twelfth <06240> <08147> year <08141>, on the fifteenth <06240> <02568> day of the month <02320>, the word <01697> of the Lord <03068> came <01961> to <0413> me:
18“Son <01121> of man <0120>, wail <05091> over <05921> the horde <01995> of Egypt <04714>. Bring <03381> it down <03381>; bring her and the daughters <01323> of powerful <0117> nations <01471> down to <0413> the lower parts <08482> of the earth <0776>, along with <0854> those who descend <03381> to the pit <0953>.
19Say to them, ‘Whom <04310> do you surpass in beauty <05276>? Go down <03381> and be laid <07901> to rest with <0854> the uncircumcised <06189>!’
20They will fall <05307> among <08432> those killed <02491> by the sword <02719>. The sword <02719> is drawn <05414>; they carry <04900> her and all <03605> her hordes <01995> away.
21The bravest <0410> of the warriors <01368> will speak <01696> to him from the midst <08432> of Sheol <07585> along with <0854> his allies <05826>, saying: ‘The uncircumcised <06189> have come down <03381>; they lie <07901> still, killed <02491> by the sword <02719>.’
22“Assyria <0804> is there <08033> with all <03605> her assembly <06951> around <05439> her grave <06913>, all <03605> of them struck down <02491> by the sword <02719>.
23Their <0834> graves <06913> are located <05414> in the remote slopes <03411> of the pit <0953>. Her assembly <06951> is <01961> around <05439> her grave <06900>, all <03605> of them struck down <05307> <02491> by the sword <02719>, those who <0834> spread <05414> terror <02851> in the land <0776> of the living <02416>.
24“Elam <05867> is there <08033> with all <03605> her hordes <01995> around <05439> her grave <06900>; all <03605> of them struck down <05307> <02491> by the sword <02719>. They went down <03381> uncircumcised <06189> to <0413> the lower parts <08482> of the earth <0776>, those who <0834> spread <05414> terror <02851> in the land <0776> of the living <02416>. Now they will bear <05375> their shame <03639> with <0854> those who descend <03381> to the pit <0953>.
25Among <08432> the dead <02491> they have made <05414> a bed <04904> for her, along with all <03605> her hordes <01995> around <05439> her grave <06913>. All <03605> of them are uncircumcised <06189>, killed <02491> by the sword <02719>, for <03588> their terror <02851> had spread <05414> in the land <0776> of the living <02416>. They bear <05375> their shame <03639> along with <0854> those who descend <03381> to the pit <0953>; they are placed <05414> among <08432> the dead <02491>.
26“Meshech-Tubal <08422> <04902> is there <08033>, along with all <03605> her hordes <01995> around <05439> her grave <06913>. All <03605> of them are uncircumcised <06189>, killed <02490> by the sword <02719>, for <03588> they spread <05414> their terror <02851> in the land <0776> of the living <02416>.
27They do not <03808> lie <07901> with <0854> the fallen <05307> warriors <01368> of ancient times <06189>, who <0834> went down <03381> to Sheol <07585> with their weapons <03627> of war <04421>, having their swords <02719> placed <05414> under <08478> their heads <07218> and their shields <05771> on <05921> their bones <06106>, when <03588> the terror <02851> of these warriors <01368> was in the land <0776> of the living <02416>.
28“But as for you <0859>, in the midst <08432> of the uncircumcised <06189> you will be broken <07665>, and you will lie <07901> with <0854> those killed <02491> by the sword <02719>.
29“Edom <0123> is there <08033> with her kings <04428> and all <03605> her princes <05387>. Despite <0834> their might <01369> they are laid <05414> with <0854> those killed <02491> by the sword <02719>; they <01992> lie <07901> with <0854> the uncircumcised <06189> and those who descend <03381> to <0854> the pit <0953>.
30“All <03605> the leaders <05257> of the north <06828> are there <08033>, along with all <03605> the Sidonians <06722>; despite <0834> their might <01369> they have gone down <03381> in shameful <0954> terror <02851> with <0854> the dead <02491>. They lie <07901> uncircumcised <06189> with <0854> those killed <02491> by the sword <02719>, and bear <05375> their shame <03639> with <0854> those who descend <03381> to the pit <0953>.
31“Pharaoh <06547> will see <07200> them and be consoled <05162> over <05921> all <03605> his hordes <01995> who were killed <02491> by the sword <02719>, Pharaoh <06547> and all <03605> his army <02428>, declares <05002> the sovereign <0136> Lord <03069>.
32Indeed <03588>, I terrified <02851> <05414> him in the land <0776> of the living <02416>, yet he will lie <07901> in the midst <08432> of the uncircumcised <06189> with <0854> those killed <02491> by the sword <02719>, Pharaoh <06547> and all <03605> his hordes <01995>, declares <05002> the sovereign <0136> Lord <03069>.”
