me, saying,

Son of man, take up a lament
for Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to
him :
‘You
are
like a lion among
the nations ;
you
are
like
a monster
in the seas .
You
thrash
about
in
your
rivers, churning
up
the waters with your
feet and muddying
the
streams
. ’
Son of man, take up a lamentation
for Pharaoh king of Egypt ,
and say unto
him ,
Thou
art
like a young
lion of
the nations ,
and
thou
art
as
a whale
in the seas :
and
thou
camest
forth
with
thy
rivers, and
troubledst
the waters with thy
feet ,
and fouledst
their
rivers
.
This
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
‘
I will spread My net over you
with a company of many peoples,
and they will
draw
you
up in My net.
Thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
I will therefore
spread out
my net over thee
with a company of many people;
and they shall
bring
thee
up in my net.
I
will abandon
you
on
the land and
hurl
you
into
the open field .
I
will cause all the birds
of the air
to settle
upon you
, and all
the beasts of the earth to
eat
their
fill
of
you
.
Then
will I
leave
thee
upon
the land ,
I
will
cast
thee
forth
upon
the open field ,
and
will cause all the fowls
of the heaven
to remain
upon thee
, and I
will
fill
the beasts of the whole
earth with
thee
.
I will put
your
flesh on
the mountains and fill the valleys with your
remains
.
And
I will lay
thy
flesh upon
the mountains ,
and fill the valleys with thy
height
.
I will drench
the
land
with the
flow
of
your
blood ,
all
the way
to the mountains —
the ravines
will
be filled
.
I will also
water
with thy
blood the land
wherein
thou
swimmest,
even
to the mountains ;
and
the rivers
shall
be full
of
thee
.
When I extinguish
you
, I will cover the heavens
and darken
their
stars .
I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will
not give its
light.
And
when I shall
put
thee
out
, I will cover the heaven,
and make
the
stars thereof
dark;
I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall
not give her
light.
All the shining
lights in
the
heavens
I
will darken
over you
, and I
will
bring
darkness upon your
land, ’
declares
the Lord GOD.
All the bright
lights of
heaven
will I
make
dark
over thee
, and set
darkness upon thy
land, saith
the Lord GOD.
‘
I will trouble
the hearts of many peoples
, when I bring about
your
destruction among the nations, in
countries you
do
not know
.
I will also
vex
the hearts of many people
, when I shall
bring thy
destruction among the nations, into
the
countries which
thou
hast
not known
.
I will cause
many peoples
to
be
appalled
over
you
, and their kings will
shudder
in
horror
because
of
you
when I brandish My sword before them .
On
the
day
of
your
downfall
each
of
them
will
tremble every moment for his life. ’
Yea,
I will make
many people
amazed
at
thee
, and their kings shall
be
horribly
afraid
for
thee,
when I shall
brandish my sword before them ;
and
they
shall
tremble at
every moment ,
every
man
for his own
life ,
in
the
day
of
thy
fall
.
For this
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
‘
The sword of the king of Babylon will
come against
you!
For thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
The sword of the king of Babylon shall
come upon
thee.
I
will
make
your
hordes
fall
by the swords of the mighty, the most
ruthless
of all
nations .
They will
ravage
the pride
of Egypt and all her
multitudes
will
be destroyed.
By the swords of the mighty will
I
cause
thy
multitude
to
fall
, the terrible
of the
nations ,
all
of
them:
and
they shall
spoil
the pomp
of Egypt ,
and all the
multitude
thereof
shall
be destroyed.
I will slaughter
all her
cattle
beside the abundant
waters .
No
human
foot will
muddy
them again
, and
no
cattle
hooves
will
disturb
them.
I will destroy
also
all the
beasts
thereof
from
beside the great
waters ;
neither
shall
the
foot of
man
trouble
them any
more
, nor
the
hoofs
of
beasts
trouble
them.
Then I
will let
her
waters settle
and will
make
her
rivers flow
like oil, ’
declares
the Lord GOD.
Then will I
make
their
waters deep,
and cause
their
rivers to
run
like oil, saith
the Lord GOD.
‘
When I make the land of Egypt a
desolation
and empty
it
of all
that filled
it, when I strike
down
all who
live
there
, then they will
know that I am the LORD. ’
When I shall
make the land of Egypt desolate,
and the
country
shall
be
destitute
of that whereof
it was
full
, when I shall
smite
all them
that
dwell
therein
, then shall
they know that I am the LORD.
This is the lament
they will
chant
for
her ;
the daughters of the nations will
chant
it.
Over
Egypt and all her multitudes
they
will
chant
it
, declares
the Lord GOD. ”
This is the lamentation
wherewith
they shall
lament
her :
the daughters of the nations shall
lament
her:
they
shall
lament
for
her,
even
for
Egypt ,
and for
all her multitude
, saith
the Lord GOD.
