Ezekiel 31

Pharaoh Warned of Assyria's Fate

1

In the  aeleventhh259h6240 yearh8141, in the thirdh7992 month, on the firsth259 of the monthh2320, the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me sayingh559,

2

"Sonh1121 of manh120, sayh559 to Pharaohh6547 kingh4428 of Egypth4714 and to his  ahordesh1995, `Whomh413h4310 are you likeh1819 in your greatnessh1433?

3

`Beholdh2009, Assyriah804b was a  acedarh730 in Lebanonh3844 With beautifulh3303 branchesh6057 and foresth2793 shadeh6751, And  1 bveryh6967 highh6967, And its toph6788 was amongh996 the  2cloudsh5645.

4

`The  awatersh4325 made it growh1431, the  1deeph8415 madeh7311 it highh7311. With its riversh5104 it continually  2extendedh1980 allh5439 aroundh5439 its plantingh4302 placeh4302, And senth7971 out its channelsh8585a to allh3605 the treesh6086 of the fieldh7704.

5

`Thereforeh5921h3651  aits heighth6967 was loftierh1361b thanh4480 allh3605 the treesh6086 of the fieldh7704 And its boughsh5634 becameh7235a manyh7235a and its branchesh6288 longh748 Becauseh4480 of  bmanyh7227a watersh4325  1as it spreadh7971 them out.

6

`Allh3605 the  abirdsh5775 of the heavensh8064 nestedh7077 in its boughsh5589a, And underh8478 its branchesh6288 allh3605 the beastsh2421b of the fieldh7704 gaveh3205 birthh3205, And allh3605 greath7227a nationsh1471 livedh3427 under its shadeh6738.

7

`So it was beautifulh3302 in its greatnessh1433, in the lengthh753 of its branchesh1808; For its  1rootsh8328 extendedh1961 to manyh7227a watersh4325.

8

`The  acedarsh730 in  bGod'sh430 gardenh1588  1could not matchh6004 it; The  2cypressesh1265  1could not compareh1819 with its boughsh5589a, And the planeh6196 treesh6196  3could not match its branchesh6288. Noh3605h3808 treeh6086 in  bGod'sh430 gardenh1588  1could compareh1819 with it in its beautyh3308.

9

`I madeh6213a it beautifulh3303 with the multitudeh7230 of its branchesh1808, And allh3605 the treesh6086 of  aEdenh5731, whichh834 were in the  agardenh1588 of Godh430, were jealoush7065 of it.

10

`Thereforeh3651 thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136  1GODh3068, "Becauseh3282h834  2it is highh1361b in statureh6967 and has seth5414 its toph6788 amongh996 the  3cloudsh5645, and its  ahearth3824 is haughtyh7311 in its loftinessh1363,

11

therefore I will giveh5414 it into the handh3027 of a  1 adespoth352c of the nationsh1471; he will thoroughlyh6213a dealh6213a with it. According to its wickednessh7562 I have  bdrivenh1644 it awayh1644.

12

aAlienh2114a  btyrantsh6184 of the nationsh1471 have cuth3772 it downh3772 and lefth5203 it; on the  cmountainsh2022 and in allh3605 the valleysh1516 its branchesh1808 have fallenh5307 and its boughsh6288 have been brokenh7665 in allh3605 the ravinesh650 of the landh776. And allh3605 the peoplesh5971a of the earthh776 have  dgoneh3381 downh3381 from its shadeh6738 and lefth5203 it.

13

"On its ruinh4658 allh3605 the  abirdsh5775 of the heavensh8064 will dwellh7931, and allh3605 the beastsh2421b of the fieldh7704 will be on its fallen branchesh6288

14

soh4616 that allh3605 the treesh6086 by the watersh4325 may not be exaltedh1361b in their statureh6967, norh3808 seth5414 their toph6788 amongh996 the  1cloudsh5645, norh3808 their  2well-wateredh8354 mightyh352c ones standh5975 erect in their heighth6967. For they have allh3605 been givenh5414 over to deathh4194, to the  aearthh776 beneathh8482, amongh8432 the sonsh1121 of menh120, with those who goh3381 downh3381 to the pith953a."

15

`Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, "On the dayh3117 when it wenth3381 downh3381 to Sheolh7585 I  acausedh56 lamentationsh56; I closedh3680 the  1deeph8415 overh5921 it and heldh4513 backh4513 its riversh5104. And its manyh7227a watersh4325 were stoppedh3607 up, and I made Lebanonh3844  2mournh6937 for it, and allh3605 the treesh6086 of the fieldh7704 wiltedh5968 awayh5968 on accounth5921 of it.

16

"I made the nationsh1471  aquakeh7493 at the soundh6963 of its fallh4658 when I made it  bgoh3381 downh3381 to Sheolh7585 with those who goh3381 downh3381 to the pith953a; and allh3605 the  1well-wateredh8354 treesh6086 of Edenh5731, the choicesth4005 and besth2896a of  cLebanonh3844, were  dcomfortedh5162 in the earthh776 beneathh8482.

17

"They alsoh1571  awenth3381 downh3381 with it to Sheolh7585 to those who were  bslainh2491a by the swordh2719; and those who were its  1strengthh2220 livedh3427  cunder its shadeh6738 amongh8432 the nationsh1471.

18

"To whichh4310 among the treesh6086 of Edenh5731 are you thush3602  1equalh1819 in gloryh3519b and greatnessh1433? Yet you will be broughth3381 downh3381 with the treesh6086 of Edenh5731 to the earthh776 beneathh8482; you will lieh7901 in the midsth8432 of the  auncircumcisedh6189, with those who were slainh2491a by the swordh2719.  bSo is Pharaohh6547 and allh3605 his hordesh1995!"' declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068."
