Ezekiel
32:1 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the
first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
32:2 Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say
unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a
whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst
the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
32:3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net over thee
with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net.
32:4 Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the
open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon
thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.
32:5 And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with
thy height.
32:6 I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to
the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.
32:7 And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the
stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon
shall not give her light.
32:8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set
darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
32:9 I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy
destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not
known.
32:10 Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings shall be
horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them;
and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in
the day of thy fall.
32:11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come
upon thee.
32:12 By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the
terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall spoil the pomp of
Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.
32:13 I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters;
neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of
beasts trouble them.
32:14 Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like
oil, saith the Lord GOD.
32:15 When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall be
destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that
dwell therein, then shall they know that I am the LORD.
32:16 This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters
of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, even for
Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
32:17 It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the
month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
32:18 Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even
her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of
the earth, with them that go down into the pit.
32:19 Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the
uncircumcised.
32:20 They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword: she is
delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.
32:21 The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell
with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised,
slain by the sword.
32:22 Asshur is there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of
them slain, fallen by the sword:
32:23 Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round
about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused
terror in the land of the living.
32:24 There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them
slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the
nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the
living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the
pit.
32:25 They have set 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 caused in the land of the
living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the
pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain.
32:26 There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves are round
about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they
caused their terror in the land of the living.
32:27 And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the
uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war:
and they have laid 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.
32:28 Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt
lie with them that are slain with the sword.
32:29 There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with their might
are laid by them that were slain by the sword: they shall lie with the
uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.
32:30 There be the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians,
which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed
of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with them that be slain by
the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.
32:31 Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude,
even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.
32:32 For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be
laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the
sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
