And it came to pass in the twelfth{H8147} year,{H8141} in the twelfth month,{H2320} in the first{H259} [day] of the month,{H2320} that the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came unto me, saying,{H559}

Son{H1121} of man,{H120} take up{H5375} a lamentation{H7015} over Pharaoh{H6547} king{H4428} of Egypt,{H4714} and say{H559} unto him, Thou wast likened{H1819} unto a young lion{H3715} of the nations:{H1471} yet art thou as a monster{H8577} in the seas;{H3220} and thou didst break forth{H1518} with thy rivers,{H5104} and troubledst{H1804} the waters{H4325} with thy feet,{H7272} and fouledst{H7515} their rivers.{H5104}

Thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H136} I will spread out{H6566} my net{H7568} upon thee with a company{H6951} of many{H7227} peoples;{H5971} and they shall bring thee up{H5927} in my net.{H2764}

And I will leave{H5203} thee upon the land,{H776} I will cast thee forth{H2904} upon the open{H6440} field,{H7704} and will cause all the birds{H5775} of the heavens{H8064} to settle{H7931} upon thee, and I will satisfy{H7646} the beasts{H2416} of the whole earth{H776} with thee.

And I will lay{H5414} thy flesh{H1320} upon the mountains,{H2022} and fill{H4390} the valleys{H1516} with thy height.{H7419}

I will also water{H8248} with thy blood{H1818} the land{H776} wherein thou swimmest,{H6824} even to the mountains;{H2022} and the watercourses{H650} shall be full{H4390} of thee.

And when I shall extinguish{H3518} thee, I will cover{H3680} the heavens,{H8064} and make{H6937} the stars{H3556} thereof dark;{H6937} I will cover{H3680} the sun{H8121} with a cloud,{H6051} and the moon{H3394} shall not give{H215} its light.{H216}

All the bright{H3974} lights{H216} of heaven{H8064} will I make dark{H6937} over thee, and set{H5414} darkness{H2822} upon thy land,{H776} saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069}

I will also vex{H3707} the hearts{H3820} of many{H7227} peoples,{H5971} when I shall bring{H935} thy destruction{H7667} among the nations,{H1471} into the countries{H776} which thou hast not known.{H3045}

Yea, I will make many{H7227} peoples{H5971} amazed{H8074} at thee, and their kings{H4428} shall be horribly{H8178} afraid{H8175} for thee, when I shall brandish{H5774} my sword{H2719} before them;{H6440} and they shall tremble{H2729} at every moment,{H7281} every man{H376} for his own life,{H5315} in the day{H3117} of thy fall.{H4658}

For thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H3069} The sword{H2719} of the king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} shall come{H935} upon thee.

By the swords{H2719} of the mighty{H1368} will I cause thy multitude{H1995} to fall;{H5307} the terrible{H6184} of the nations{H1471} are they all: and they shall bring to nought{H7703} the pride{H1347} of Egypt,{H4714} and all the multitude{H1995} thereof shall be destroyed.{H8045}

I will destroy{H6} also all the beasts{H929} thereof from{H5921} beside many{H7227} waters;{H4325} neither shall the foot{H7272} of man{H120} trouble{H1804} them any more, nor the hoofs{H6541} of beasts{H929} trouble{H1804} them.

Then will I make their waters{H4325} clear,{H8257} and cause their rivers{H5104} to run{H3212} like oil,{H8081} saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069}

When I shall make{H5414} the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} desolate{H8077} and waste, a land{H776} destitute{H8074} of that whereof it was full,{H4393} when I shall smite{H5221} all them that dwell{H3427} therein, then shall they know{H3045} that I am Jehovah.{H3068}

This is the lamentation{H7015} wherewith they shall lament;{H6969} the daughters{H1323} of the nations{H1471} shall lament{H6969} therewith; over Egypt,{H4714} and over all her multitude,{H1995} shall they lament{H6969} therewith, saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069}

It came to pass also in the twelfth{H8147} year,{H8141} in the fifteenth{H2568} [day] of the month,{H2320} that the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came unto me, saying,{H559}

Son{H1121} of man,{H120} wail{H5091} for the multitude{H1995} of Egypt,{H4714} and cast them down,{H3381} even her, and the daughters{H1323} of the famous{H117} nations,{H1471} unto the nether parts{H8482} of the earth,{H776} with them that go down{H3381} into the pit.{H953}

Whom dost thou pass in beauty?{H5276} go down,{H3381} and be thou laid{H7901} with the uncircumcised.{H6189}

They shall fall{H5307} in the midst{H8432} of them that are slain{H2491} by the sword:{H2719} she is delivered{H5414} to the sword;{H2719} draw{H4900} her away and all her multitudes.{H1995}

The strong{H410} among the mighty{H1368} shall speak{H1696} to him out of the midst{H8432} of Sheol{H7585} with them that help{H5826} him: they are gone down,{H3381} they lie{H7901} still, even the uncircumcised,{H6189} slain{H2491} by the sword.{H2719}

Asshur{H804} is there and all her company;{H6951} her graves{H6913} are round about{H5439} her; all of them slain,{H2491} fallen{H5307} by the sword;{H2719}

whose graves{H6913} are set{H5414} in the uttermost{H3411} parts of the pit,{H953} and her company{H6951} is round about{H5439} her grave;{H6900} all of them slain,{H2491} fallen{H5307} by the sword,{H2719} who caused{H5414} terror{H2851} in the land{H776} of the living.{H2416}

There is Elam{H5867} and all her multitude{H1995} round about{H5439} her grave;{H6900} all of them slain,{H2491} fallen{H5307} by the sword,{H2719} who are gone down{H3381} uncircumcised{H6189} into the nether parts{H8482} of the earth,{H776} who caused{H5414} their terror{H2851} in the land{H776} of the living,{H2416} and have borne{H5375} their shame{H3639} with them that go down{H3381} to the pit.{H953}

They have set{H5414} her a bed{H4904} in the midst{H8432} of the slain{H2491} with all her multitude;{H1995} her graves{H6913} are round about{H5439} her; all of them uncircumcised,{H6189} slain{H2491} by the sword;{H2719} for their terror{H2851} was caused{H5414} in the land{H776} of the living,{H2416} and they have borne{H5375} their shame{H3639} with them that go down{H3381} to the pit:{H953} he is put{H5414} in the midst{H8432} of them that are slain.{H2491}

There is Meshech,{H4902} Tubal,{H8422} and all their multitude;{H1995} their graves{H6913} are round about{H5439} them; all of them uncircumcised,{H6189} slain{H2490} by the sword;{H2719} for they caused{H5414} their terror{H2851} in the land{H776} of the living.{H2416}

And they shall not lie{H7901} with the mighty{H1368} that are fallen{H5307} of the uncircumcised,{H6189} that are gone down{H3381} to Sheol{H7585} with their weapons{H3627} of war,{H4421} and have laid{H5414} their swords{H2719} under their heads,{H7218} and their iniquities{H5771} are upon their bones;{H6106} for [they were] the terror{H2851} of the mighty{H1368} in the land{H776} of the living.{H2416}

But thou shalt be broken{H7665} in the midst{H8432} of the uncircumcised,{H6189} and shalt lie{H7901} with them that are slain{H2491} by the sword.{H2719}

There is Edom,{H123} her kings{H4428} and all her princes,{H5387} who in their might{H1369} are laid{H5414} with them that are slain{H2491} by the sword:{H2719} they shall lie{H7901} with the uncircumcised,{H6189} and with them that go down{H3381} to the pit.{H953}

There are the princes{H5257} of the north,{H6828} all of them, and all the Sidonians,{H6722} who are gone down{H3381} with the slain;{H2491} in the terror{H2851} which they caused by their might{H1369} they are put to shame;{H954} and they lie{H7901} uncircumcised{H6189} with them that are slain{H2491} by the sword,{H2719} and bear{H5375} their shame{H3639} with them that go down{H3381} to the pit.{H953}

Pharaoh{H6547} shall see{H7200} them, and shall be comforted{H5162} over all his multitude,{H1995} even Pharaoh{H6547} and all his army,{H2428} slain{H2491} by the sword,{H2719} saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069}

For I have put{H5414} his terror{H2851} in the land{H776} of the living;{H2416} and he shall be laid{H7901} in the midst{H8432} of the uncircumcised,{H6189} with them that are slain{H2491} by the sword,{H2719} even Pharaoh{H6547} and all his multitude,{H1995} saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069}
