King James Version
And it cometh
to pass ,
in the eleventh year, in the third `
month '
, in the first of the month, hath
a
word of Jehovah
been
unto 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 the
LORD
came
unto me, saying ,
`
Son of man, say
unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and unto
his multitude :
To
whom hast
thou been
like in thy greatness?
Son of man, speak
unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to
his multitude ;
Whom art
thou like in thy greatness?
Lo,
Asshur
, a cedar in Lebanon ,
Fair in
branch
, and shading
bough
, and high in
stature ,
And between
thickets
hath
its
foliage
been
.
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
.
Waters have
made it
great, The deep hath
exalted
him with its
flowings,
Going
round about its
planting
, And its
conduits
it
hath
sent forth
unto all trees of the field.
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.
Therefore higher
hath
been
his stature
than
all trees of the field, And multiplied
are
his boughs, and long
are
his branches ,
Because of many
waters in
his
shooting
forth
,
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.
In his boughs made
a
nest
hath
every
fowl
of
the
heavens
, And under his branches brought
forth
hath
every
beast
of the field, And in
his shade
dwell
do
all great nations.
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.
And
he is
fair in his greatness, In the length of his thin
shoots,
For his root hath
been
by great waters.
Thus
was
he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches:
for his root was
by great waters.
Cedars have
not
hid
him
in the garden of God ,
Firs
have
not been
like unto
his boughs, And chesnut-
trees have
not been
as
his branches ,
No
tree in the garden of God hath
been
like unto him in his beauty ,
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 .
Fair
I have made him in
the multitude of his thin
shoots,
And
envy
him
do
all trees of Eden that `are'
in the garden of God.
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
.
Therefore ,
thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
Because that
thou hast been
high
in stature
, And he yieldeth
his foliage
between
thickets
, And high
is
his heart in his haughtiness,
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;
I give
him into the hand of a
god
of nations,
He dealeth
sorely
with him ,
In
his
wickedness
I have cast
him out.
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
.
And cut
him
off
do
strangers, The terrible of nations, and
they
leave
him, On
the mountains and in all valleys have
his thin
shoots
fallen, And broken
are
his boughs at
all streams
of the land ,
And go
down
from
his
shade
do
all peoples
of the land
, and they
leave
him.
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.
On
his ruin dwell
do
all fowls of the heavens
, And on
his
boughs
have
been
all the beasts of the field ,
Upon
his ruin shall
all the
fowls of the heaven
remain
, and all the beasts of the field shall
be
upon
his
branches:
In
order
that none of the trees of
the waters May
become
haughty
because
of
their stature
, Nor
give
their foliage
between
thickets
, Nor
any
drinking
waters
stand up unto
them
in their haughtiness
, For
all of
them
are given
up
to
death, Unto
the earth
--
the lower
part
, In the midst of the sons
of men, Unto
those
going
down to the pit.
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.
Thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
In the day of
his
going
down to sheol
I have
caused mourning ,
I have
covered for
him
the deep, and diminish
its
flowings
, And restrained
are
many
waters ,
And I make
Lebanon black
for him, And all trees of the field have
been
covered
for him.
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.
From
the sound of his fall I
have
caused
nations
to
shake
, In
My
causing
him to
go
down to sheol,
With those
going
down
to
the pit ,
And comforted
in
the
earth
--
the
lower
part,
are
all trees of Eden, The choice and the
good
of Lebanon, All drinking
waters
.
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
.
Also
they with him have
gone
down
to
sheol,
Unto the
pierced
of
the sword ,
And --
his arm --
they
dwelt in
his shade
in the midst of nations
.
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
.
Unto
whom hast
thou been
thus like ,
In honour
and in greatness among the trees of Eden ,
And
thou hast
been
brought down with the trees of Eden ,
Unto the earth
--
the lower
part,
In the midst of the uncircumcised thou
liest,
With the
pierced
of
the sword ?
It
`
is '
Pharaoh ,
and all his multitude, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah!'
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.
