LORD
came to me, saying,

happened
in the twelfth year, in
the twelfth

the
first [
day ]

the word of Yahweh
came to 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
over
Pharaoh king of Egypt ,
and tell
him ,
You were
likened
to
a young
lion of
the nations :
yet
are you
as
a monster in the seas ;
and
you did
break
forth
with
your rivers, and
troubled
the waters with your feet ,
and fouled
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
says
the Lord Yahweh
: I will spread out
my net on
you with a company of many peoples ;
and they shall
bring
you 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.
I will leave
you on the land ,
I
will
cast
you forth
on
the open field ,

the animals
of the whole
earth with
you.

your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains
.

.

the
land
with the
flow
of
your blood ,
all
the way
to the mountains —
the ravines
will
be filled
.
I will also
water
with your blood the land
in
which
you
swim,
even
to the mountains ;
and
the watercourses
shall
be full
of
you
.
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.
When I shall
extinguish you, I will cover the heavens ,
and make
the
stars of
it
dark;

lights in
the heavens
I
will darken
over you, and I
will
bring
darkness upon
your land, ’
declares
the Lord GOD
.

lights of
the sky

the hearts of many peoples, when I bring about
your destruction among the nations, in
countries you do
not know
.

the hearts of many peoples, when I shall
bring your destruction among the nations, into
the
countries which
you have
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. ’
Yes,
I will make
many peoples amazed
at
you, and their kings shall
be
horribly
afraid
for
you ,
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
your
fall
.
For this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘
The sword of the king of Babylon will
come against
you !
For thus
says
the Lord Yahweh
: The sword of the king of Babylon shall
come on
you .
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
your
multitude
to
fall;
the terrible
of the
nations are
they all:
and
they
shall
bring
to
nothing
the pride of Egypt ,
and all the
multitude
of
it
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 animals
of
it
from
beside
many
waters ;
neither
shall
the
foot of
man
trouble
them any
more
, nor
the
hoofs
of
animals
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 clear,
and cause
their
rivers to
run
like oil, says
the Lord Yahweh
.
‘
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 waste,
a
land
destitute
of that of
which
it was
full
, when I shall
strike all those
who dwell
therein
, then shall
they know that I am Yahweh
.
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
with
which
they shall
lament
; the daughters of the nations shall
lament
therewith;

and over
all her multitude,
shall
they lament
therewith
, says
the Lord Yahweh
.
