9 In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians
afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
11 He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land:
and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
12 And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make
the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken it.
13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause theirimages to cease
out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the
land of Egypt.
14 And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in
No.
15 And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of
No.
16 And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph
shall havedistresses daily.
17 The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword: and these citiesshall go into
captivity.
18 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt:
and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her
daughters shall go into captivity.
19 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I amthe LORD.
20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh dayof the month,
thatthe word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up
to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
22 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I amagainst Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will
break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of
his hand.
23 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the
countries.
24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I
will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded
man.
25 But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall
down; and they shall know that I amthe LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the
king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
26 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries;
and they shall know that I amthe LORD.
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first dayof the month,
thatthe word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy
greatness?
3 Behold, the Assyrian wasa cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud,
and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.
4 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about
his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.
5 Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were

multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot
forth.
6 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the
beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.
7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great
waters.
8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and
the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto
him in his beauty.
9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were
in the garden of God, envied him.
10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath
shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall
surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the
mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the
rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left
him.
13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall
be upon his branches:
14 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height,
neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height,
all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in
the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
15 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I
covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed:
and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.
16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them
that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink
water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
17 They also went down into hell with him unto them that beslain with the sword; and they
that werehis arm, thatdwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.
18 To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou
be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the
midst of the uncircumcised with them that beslain by the sword. This isPharaoh and all his
multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
1 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first dayof the month,
thatthe word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
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 artas a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy
rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
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.
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.
5 And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height.
6 I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, evento the mountains; and

the rivers shall be full of thee.
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.
8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land,
saith the Lord GOD.
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.
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 everymoment,
every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.
11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.
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.
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.
14 Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord
GOD.
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
amthe LORD.
16 This isthe lamentation wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall
lament her: they shall lament for her, evenfor Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord
GOD.
17 It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth dayof the month, thatthe word of
the LORD came unto me, saying,
18 Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, evenher, and the
daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down
into the pit.
19 Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.
20 They shall fall in the midst of them that areslain by the sword: she is delivered to the
sword: draw her and all her multitudes.
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.
22 Asshur isthere and all her company: his graves areabout him: all of them slain, fallen by
the sword:
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.
24 There isElam 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.
25 They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves areround
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 beslain.
26 There isMeshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves areround about him: all of them
uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.
27 And they shall not lie with the mighty that arefallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone
