his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.
[5] 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.
[6] 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.
[7] Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root
was by great waters.
[8] 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.
[9] 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.
[10] 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;
[11] 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.
[12] 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.
[13] Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain,
and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
[14] 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.
[15] 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.
[16] 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.
[17]
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.
[18] 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.
Ezek.32
[1] And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the
word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
[2] 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.
[3]
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.
[4] 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.
[5] And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy
height.
[6] I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and
the rivers shall be full of thee.
[7] 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.
[8] All the bright
lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
[9] 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.
[10] 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.
[11] For thus saith the Lord GOD; The
sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.
[12] 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.
[13] 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.
[14]
Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD.
[15] When
I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall be destitute of that whereof it was full,
