And
it
came
to
pass
in the eleventh year, in
the
third
`month',
in
the first `
day '
of the month, that
the word of Jehovah
came unto
me, saying,
In the eleventh year, on
the first day of the third
month, the word of the
LORD
came to
me, saying,
Son of man, say unto
Pharaoh king of Egypt ,
and to his multitude: Whom
art
thou
like
in
thy
greatness?
“
Son of man, say to
Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his multitude: ‘Who
can
be
compared
to
your
greatness?
Behold
, the
Assyrian
was
a cedar in Lebanon with
fair
branches
, and
with a
forest -like
shade,
and
of
high stature
; and
its top was among the thick
boughs
.
Look
at
Assyria
, a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful
branches
that
shaded
the
forest .
It
towered
on
high; its top was among the clouds
.
The waters nourished
it ,
the deep made it to
grow:
the
rivers
thereof
ran
round
about
its plantation;
and it
sent
out
its
channels unto
all the trees of the field.
The waters made
it grow;
the deep springs
made it tall,
directing
their
streams
all
around
its base
and sending
their
channels to
all the trees of the field.
Therefore its
stature
was
exalted
above
all the trees of the field ;
and
its boughs
were
multiplied, and its branches
became
long by
reason
of
many
waters,
when
it shot
`
them '
forth
.
Therefore it
towered
higher
than
all the trees of the field .
Its branches
multiplied, and its boughs
grew
long as
it spread
them out
because
of
the
abundant
waters
.
All the birds of the heavens
made
their
nests
in its boughs;
and
under
its
branches did
all the beasts of the field bring
forth
their
young;
and
under
its shadow
dwelt
all great nations.
All the birds of the air
nested
in its branches ,
and
all the beasts of the field gave
birth
beneath
its boughs;
all the
great nations lived
in
its
shade
.
Thus
was
it fair
in its greatness, in the length of its branches;
for its root
was
by
many
waters.
It was
beautiful
in its greatness, in the length of its limbs,
for its roots
extended
to
abundant
waters.
The cedars in the garden of God could not hide
it; the fir-trees
were
not like
its boughs
, and
the plane -
trees were
not
as
its branches;
nor
was
any
tree in the garden of God like
unto
it
in
its beauty.
The cedars in the garden of God could not rival
it; the cypresses
could
not compare
with
its branches
, nor
the plane trees match
its boughs.
No
tree in the garden of God could
compare
with
its beauty.
I made it fair
by
the
multitude
of
its branches, so
that
all the trees of Eden, that
were in the garden of God ,
envied
it
.
I made it beautiful
with
its many
branches, the
envy
of
all the trees of Eden, which
were in the garden of God. ’
Therefore thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Because
thou
art
exalted
in stature,
and he
hath
set his
top among the thick
boughs
, and his
heart
is
lifted
up
in
his
height ;
Therefore this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘Since
it
became
great
in height
and set its
top among the clouds
, and it
grew
proud
on
account
of
its
height ,
I will
even
deliver
him
into the hand of the mighty
one
of the nations ;
he
shall
surely
deal with him;
I have driven
him
out
for
his
wickedness
.
I delivered
it
into the hand of the ruler
of the nations ,
for
him
to
deal with it
according
to
its
wickedness.
I have banished
it
.
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 watercourses
of
the
land;
and all the peoples of the earth are
gone
down
from
his
shadow,
and
have
left him
.
Foreigners
, the most
ruthless
of the nations, cut it
down
and left it.
Its
branches
have
fallen
on
the mountains and in every
valley;
its
boughs lay
broken in
all the earth’s
ravines.
And all the peoples of the earth left its
shade
and
abandoned
it
.
Upon
his
ruin
all the birds of the heavens
shall
dwell
, and all the beasts of the field shall
be
upon
his
branches;
All the birds of the air
nested
on
its
fallen
trunk
, and all the beasts of the field lived
among
its
boughs.
to
the
end
that none
of
all
the
trees by the waters exalt
themselves
in their
stature,
neither
set their top
among the thick
boughs
, nor
that
their
mighty
ones
stand
up
on
their
height ,
`even'
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.
This
happened
so
that no
other
trees by the waters would
become
great
in height
and
set their tops
among the clouds
, and
no
other
well-watered
trees
would
reach
them
in
height .
For they have
all been
consigned
to
death, to the depths
of the earth, among
the mortals
who
descend
to the Pit. ’
Thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
: In
the day when
he
went
down to Sheol I caused a
mourning :
I covered the deep for
him,
and
I restrained
the
rivers 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
.
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘On
the day it
was
brought
down to Sheol ,
I caused mourning .
I covered the deep because
of
it;
I held
back
its
rivers; its
abundant
waters were restrained.
I made
Lebanon mourn for it
, and all the trees of the field fainted because
of
it
.
I made the nations to
shake
at the sound of his
fall
, when I cast him
down to Sheol with them
that
descend into
the pit ;
and
all the trees of Eden, the choice
and best of Lebanon, all that
drink
water
, were comforted
in the nether
parts
of
the
earth.
I made the nations quake
at the sound of its
downfall
, when I cast it
down to Sheol with those
who
descend to
the Pit .
Then
all the trees of Eden, the choicest
and best of Lebanon, all the
well-watered
trees
, were consoled
in the earth below
.
They also
went
down
into
Sheol
with him
unto
them
that
are
slain by the sword ;
yea,
they that
were
his
arm,
`that'
dwelt
under
his
shadow
in the
midst
of
the nations.
They too
descended
with it
to
Sheol,
to
those
slain by the sword .
As
its
allies
they had
lived
in its
shade
among
the nations.
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
are
slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith
the Lord Jehovah
.
Who
then
is
like you
in glory and greatness among the trees of Eden? You
also
will
be brought down to
the depths
of the earth to
be
with
the trees
of Eden.
You
will
lie
among
the uncircumcised, with those
slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares
the Lord GOD
. ’”
