It is all full of lies and robbery; the prey does not depart; 2 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of wheels, and of galloping horses, and of bounding chariots. 3 The horseman raises both the bright sword and the glittering spear: there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of corpses; and there is no end to their bodies; they stumble upon their corpses: 4 Because of the multitude of the harlotries of the well-favored harlot, the mistress of sorceries, who sells nations through her harlotries, and families through her sorceries. 5 Behold, I am against you, says the LORD of hosts; and I will lift your skirts over your face, and I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame. 6 And I will cast abominable filth upon you, and make you vile, and will set you as a spectacle. 7 And it shall come to pass, that all who look upon you will flee from you, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will mourn for her?

    4The waters made it great, the deep set it up on high with its rivers running around its plants, and sent out its little rivers to all the trees of the field.

    5Therefore its height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long because of the multitude of waters as it spread out.

    6All the birds of heaven made their nests in its boughs, and under its branches all the beasts of the field gave birth to their young, and under its shadow all great nations dwelt.

    7Thus it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches, for its root was by great waters.

    8The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the fir trees were not like its boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like its branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like it in beauty.

    9I made it beautiful by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.

    10Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because you have lifted yourself up in height, and it has set its top among the thick boughs, and its heart is lifted up in its height;

    11I have therefore delivered it into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with it: I have driven it out for its wickedness.

    12And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut it off and have left it; on the mountains and in all the valleys its branches have fallen, and its boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the peoples of the earth have gone down from its shadow and have left it.

    13On its ruin all the birds of the heavens will dwell, and all the beasts of the field will be on its branches:

    14So that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, nor set their top among the thick boughs, nor any tree stand up to its height, all that drink water; for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with those who go down to the pit.

    15Thus says the Lord GOD; In the day when it went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for it, and I restrained its floods, and the great waters were stopped: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for it, and all the trees of the field fainted for it.

    16I made the nations to shake at the sound of its fall, when I cast it down to hell with those who 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 lower parts of the earth.

    3And say, Thus says the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, long-winged, full of feathers of various colors, came to Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:

    4He cropped off the top of its young twigs and carried it into a land of trade; he set it in a city of merchants.

    5He also took some of the seed of the land and planted it in a fertile field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.

    6And it grew and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and its roots were under him: so it became a vine and brought forth branches and shot forth sprigs.

    7There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine bent her roots toward him and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.
