In the eleventh year, on
the first day of the third
month, the word of the
LORD
came to
me, saying,
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,
“
Son of man, say to
Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his multitude: ‘Who
can
be
compared
to
your
greatness?
Son of man, say unto
Pharaoh king of Egypt ,
and to his multitude: Whom
art
thou
like
in
thy
greatness?
Look
at
Assyria
, a cedar in Lebanon ,
with beautiful
branches that
shaded
the
forest .
It
towered
on
high; its top was among the clouds
.
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
.
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.
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.
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.
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
.
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
.
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.
It
was beautiful
in its greatness, in the length of its limbs,
for its roots
extended
to
abundant
waters.
Thus
was it
fair
in its greatness, in the length of its branches;
for its root
was
by
many
waters.
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.
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.
I made it beautiful
with
its many
branches, the
envy
of
all the trees of Eden, which
were in the garden of God. ’
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
.
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 ,
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 ;
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
All the birds of the air
nested
on
its
fallen
trunk
, and all the beasts of the field lived
among
its
boughs.
Upon
his
ruin
all the birds of the heavens
shall
dwell
, and all the beasts of the field shall
be
upon
his
branches;
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. ’
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
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
.
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
.
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
.
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.
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.
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.
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
. ’”
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
.
