Berean Standard Bible
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,
In the eleventh year, on
the first day of the third
month, the word of the LORD came to
me, saying,
Son of man, speak
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
shadowing
shroud,
and
of
an
high stature
; and
his
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 made him
great,
the deep set
him
up
on
high
with
her
rivers
running
round
about
his
plants
, and sent
her
little
rivers
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 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
.
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 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.
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 he
fair
in his
greatness, in the length of his
branches:
for his
root
was
by
great
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
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.
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 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
.
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
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 ;
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 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
.
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 rivers
of
the
land;
and all the people
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
shall
all the fowls
of the heaven
remain
, 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
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.
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 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
.
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 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.
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
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
.
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
be
slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith
the Lord GOD.
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. ’”
