Chapter 32

And it came to pass in the twelfth ⁶²⁴⁰ year, in the twelfth ⁶²⁴⁰ month, in the first [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,²

Son of man, take up³ a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say¹ unto him, Thou art like⁸ a young lion of the nations, and thou [art] as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth⁴ with thy rivers, and troubledst⁴ the waters with thy feet, and fouledst⁴ their rivers.

Thus saith¹ the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out¹ my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up⁵² in my net.

Then will I leave¹ thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth⁵⁵ upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain⁵² upon thee, and I will fill⁵² the beasts of the whole earth with thee.

And I will lay¹ thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill¹⁴ the valleys with thy height.

I will also water⁵² with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, [even] to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full¹¹ of thee.

And when I shall put thee out,¹⁵ I will cover¹⁴ the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark;⁵² I will cover¹⁷ the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give⁵⁵ her light.

All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark⁵⁵ over thee, and set¹ darkness upon thy land, saith⁷ the Lord GOD.

I will also vex⁵² the hearts of many people, when I shall bring⁵³ thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.¹

Yea, I will make many people amazed⁵² at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid⁴ for thee, when I shall brandish³² my sword before them; and they shall tremble¹ at [every] moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.

For thus saith¹ the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come⁴ upon thee.

By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall,⁵⁵ the terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall spoil¹ the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.⁸

I will destroy⁵² also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble⁴ them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble⁴ them.

Then will I make their waters deep,⁵⁵ and cause their rivers to run⁵⁵ like oil, saith⁷ the Lord GOD.

When I shall make² the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall be destitute¹² of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite⁵³ all them that dwell⁶ therein, then shall they know¹ that I [am] the LORD.

This [is] the lamentation wherewith they shall lament³¹ her: the daughters of the nations shall lament³⁴ her: they shall lament³⁴ for her, [even] for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith⁷ the Lord GOD.

It came to pass also in the twelfth ⁶²⁴⁰ year, in the fifteenth ⁶²⁴⁰ [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,²

Son of man, wail³ for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down,⁵⁴ [even] her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down⁶ into the pit.

Whom dost thou pass in beauty?¹ go down,³ and be thou laid⁹² with the uncircumcised.

They shall fall⁴ in the midst of [them that are] slain by the sword: she is delivered⁸ to the sword: draw³ her and all her multitudes.

The strong among the mighty shall speak¹⁷ to him out of the midst of hell with them that help⁶ him: they are gone down,¹ they lie¹ uncircumcised, slain by the sword.

Asshur [is] there and all her company: his graves [are] about him: all of them slain, fallen⁶ by the sword:

Whose graves are set⁸ in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen⁶ by the sword, which caused¹ terror in the land of the living.

There [is] Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen⁶ by the sword, which are gone down¹ uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused¹ their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne⁴ their shame with them that go down⁶ to the pit.

They have set¹ 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 caused¹² in the land of the living, yet have they borne⁴ their shame with them that go down⁶ to the pit: he is put⁸ in the midst of [them that be] slain.

There [is] Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves [are] round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain³⁰ by the sword, though they caused¹ their terror in the land of the living.

And they shall not lie⁴ with the mighty [that are] fallen⁶ of the uncircumcised, which are gone down¹ to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid⁴ 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.

Yea, thou shalt be broken¹¹ in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie⁴ with [them that are] slain with the sword.

There [is] Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid⁸ by [them that were] slain by the sword: they shall lie⁴ with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down⁶ to the pit.

There [be] the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down¹ with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed⁶ of their might; and they lie⁴ uncircumcised with [them that be] slain by the sword, and bear⁴ their shame with them that go down⁶ to the pit.

Pharaoh shall see⁴ them, and shall be comforted⁸ over all his multitude, [even] Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith⁷ the Lord GOD.

For I have caused¹ my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid⁹⁰ in the midst of the uncircumcised with [them that are] slain with the sword, [even] Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith⁷ the Lord GOD.
