EZE-31:1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third
[month], in the first [day] of the month, [that] the word of the
LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-31:2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to
his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
EZE-31:3 Behold, the Assyrian [was] a cedar in Lebanon with fair
branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature;
and his top was among the thick boughs.
EZE-31:4 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.
EZE-31:5 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.
EZE-31:6 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.
EZE-31:7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his
branches: for his root was by great waters.
EZE-31:8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the
fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were
not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was
like unto him in his beauty.
EZE-31:9 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.
EZE-31:10 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;
EZE-31:11 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.
EZE-31:12 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.
EZE-31:13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain,
and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
EZE-31:14 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.
EZE-31:15 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.
EZE-31:16 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.
EZE-31:17 They also went down into hell with him unto [them that
be] slain with the sword; and [they that were] his arm, [that]
dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.
EZE-31:18 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 be] slain by
the sword. This [is] Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the
Lord GOD.
