Chapter 31
The previous prophecy is confirmed.
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the third month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and unto all his people, To whom thinkest thou that thou art like unto thy glory?
Behold, Assyria was like a cedar tree in Lebanon, of goodly boughs, and thick of foliage, and very high; and the top thereof stood tall under great and thick branches.
The waters made him great, and the deep made him to grow up. The rivers thereof went round about his tribe, and the streams thereof unto all the trees of the field: 5. Therefore it grew taller than all the trees of the field, and had many branches and long boughs; for it had water enough to spread itself out.
All the fowls of the air made their nests in his boughs, and all the beasts of the field had young under his branches; and under his shadow dwelt all the great nations.
It had beautiful branches, large and long; for its roots had much water; 8. And there was no cedar tree like unto him in the garden of God, neither were the fir trees like unto his branches, neither were the chestnut trees like unto his boughs. Yea, he was as beautiful as no tree in the garden of GOD.
I made him so beautiful that he got so many branches that all the funny trees in the garden of God envied him.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because he was so high, that the top of his head was under great branches, high and thick; and his heart was lifted up, because he was so high, 11. Therefore I delivered him into the hand of the mightiest of the heathen, who dealt with him, and cast him out, as he deserved with his wickedness,
That strangers should cut him off, even the tyrants of the heathen, and scatter him; and his boughs should lie upon the mountains, and in all the valleys, and his branches should be broken by all the rivers of the land; that all the nations of the earth should depart from his shadow, and forsake him;
And all the fowls of the air sat upon his fallen trunk, and all the beasts of the field lay upon his branches,
That henceforth no tree by the waters may be lifted up from his height, that the top thereof may be under great and thick branches, neither may any tree by the waters be lifted up above the rest: for they must all be brought down to the earth, and be delivered unto death, as other men that go down to the pit.
Thus saith the LORD GOD; In the day that he went down to hell, I made a mourning for him, that the deep covered him, and his rivers stood still; and the great waters could not run, and made Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field to wither above him.
And I affrighted the heathen, when they heard him fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that go down to the pit. And all the goodly trees of the earth, the noblest and the best of Lebanon, and all that stood by the waters, were well pleased with him.
For they also went down with him to hell, to be slain with the sword, because they dwelt under the shadow of his arm among the heathen.
How great then thinkest thou that thou (Pharaoh) art among the goodly trees with thy glory and thy splendor? For thou shalt go down with the goodly trees into the earth, and shalt lie among the uncircumcised, slain with the sword. So shall Pharaoh and all his people be, saith the Lord GOD.
(Ezekial)
Chapter 32
Lamentations over Egypt.
And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the first day of the twelfth month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Son of man, make a lamentation against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art as a lion among the heathen, and as a dragon of the sea, leaping in thy rivers, and muddying the waters with thy feet, and making the rivers thereof turbid.
Thus saith the LORD GOD; I will cast my net over thee with a great multitude of people, which shall chase thee into my yarn.
And I will remove thee unto the land, and cast thee into the field; and all the fowls of the air shall sit upon thee, and all the beasts of the earth shall be satisfied with thee.
And will cast thy carcase upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height.
The land wherein thou swimmest, I will make it red with thy blood unto the mountains, and the rivers shall be filled with thee.
And it shall come to pass, when thou art gone, that I will cover the heavens, and darken the stars thereof, and cover the sun with clouds, and the moon shall not give her light.
All the lights of heaven will I make dark upon thee, and will make darkness in thy land, saith the LORD GOD.
For this cause will I make the heart of many nations afraid, when I shall cause the heathen to know thy plague, and many countries which thou knowest not.
Many nations shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be afraid of
