Ezekiel 32

¹ And it comes to pass, in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first of the month, has a word of Yahweh been unto me, saying, ² "Son of man, lift up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and you have said unto him: A young lion of nations you have been like, And you [are] as a dragon in the seas, And you come forth with your flowings, And do trouble the waters with your feet, And you do foul their flowings. ³ Thus said the Lord Yahweh: And I have spread out for you My net, With an assembly of many peoples, And they have brought you up in My net. ⁴ And I have left you in the land, On the face of the field I do cast you out, And have caused to dwell upon you every fowl of the heavens, And have satisfied out of you the beasts of the whole earth. ⁵ And I have put your flesh on the mountains, And filled the valleys [with] your hugeness, ⁶ And watered the land with your flowing, From your blood - unto the mountains, And streams are filled from you. ⁷ And in quenching you I have covered the heavens, And have made black their stars, The sun with a cloud I do cover, And the moon causes not its light to shine. ⁸ All luminaries of light in the heavens, I make black over you, And I have given darkness over your land, An affirmation of the Lord Yahweh, ⁹ And I have vexed the heart of many peoples, In My bringing in your destruction among nations, Unto lands that you have not known. ¹⁰ And I have made many peoples astonished at you, And their kings are afraid at you with trembling, In My brandishing My sword before their faces, And they have trembled every moment, Each for his life - in the day of your fall. ¹¹ For thus said the Lord Yahweh: A sword of the king of Babylon enters you, ¹² By swords of the mighty I cause your multitude to fall, The terrible of nations - all of them, And they have spoiled the excellency of Egypt, And destroyed has been all her multitude. ¹³ And I have destroyed all her beasts, From beside many waters, And trouble them not does a foot of man any more, Yea, the hoofs of beasts trouble them not. ¹⁴ Then do I cause their waters to sink, And their rivers as oil I cause to go, An affirmation of the Lord Yahweh. ¹⁵ In My making the land of Egypt a desolation, And desolated has been the land of its fulness, In My smiting all the inhabitants in it, And they have known that I [am] Yahweh. ¹⁶ A lamentation it [is], and they have lamented her, Daughters of the nations do lament her, For Egypt, and for all her multitude, they lament her, An affirmation of the Lord Yahweh." ¹⁷ And it comes to pass, in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth of the month, has a word of Yahweh been unto me, saying, ¹⁸ "Son of man, Wail for the multitude of Egypt, And cause it to go down, It - and the daughters of honorable nations, Unto the earth - the lower parts, With those going down to the pit. ¹⁹ Than whom have you been more pleasant? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised. ²⁰ In the midst of the pierced of the sword they fall, [To] the sword she has been given, They drew her out, and all her multitude. ²¹ Speak to him, do the els of the mighty out of the midst of sheol, With his helpers - they have gone down, They have lain with the uncircumcised, The pierced of the sword. ²² There [is] Asshur, and all her assembly, Round about him [are] his graves, All of them [are] wounded, who are falling by sword, ²³ Whose graves are appointed in the sides of the pit, And her assembly is round about her grave, All of them wounded, falling by sword, Because they gave terror in the land of the living. ²⁴ There [is] Elam, and all her multitude, Round about [is] her grave, All of them wounded, who are falling by sword, Who have gone down uncircumcised unto the earth - the lower parts, Because they gave their terror in the land of the living, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit. ²⁵ In the midst of the wounded they have appointed a bed for her with all her multitude, Round about him [are] her graves, All of them uncircumcised, pierced of the sword, For their terror was given in the land of the living, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit, In the midst of the pierced he has been put. ²⁶ There [is] Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude, Round about him [are] her graves, All of them uncircumcised, pierced of the sword, For they gave their terror in the land of the living, ²⁷ And they lie not with the mighty, Who are falling of the uncircumcised, Who have gone down to sheol with their weapons of war, And they put their swords under their heads, And their iniquities are on their bones, For the terror of the mighty [is] in the land of the living. ²⁸ And you, in the midst of the uncircumcised are broken, And do lie with the pierced of the sword. ²⁹ There [is] Edom, her kings, and all her princes, Who have been given up in their might, With the pierced of the sword, They with the uncircumcised do lie, And with those going down to the pit. ³⁰ There [are] princes of the north, All of them, and every Zidonian, Who have gone down with the pierced in their terror, Of their might they are ashamed, And they lie uncircumcised with the pierced of the sword, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit. ³¹ Then does Pharaoh see, And he has been comforted for all his multitude, The pierced of the sword - Pharaoh and all his force, An affirmation of the Lord Yahweh. ³² For I have given his terror in the land of the living, And he has been laid down in the midst of the uncircumcised, With the pierced of the sword - Pharaoh, and all his multitude, An affirmation of the Lord Yahweh!"
