|
1. And it came to pass H1961 in the eleventh H259 H6240 year H8141 , in the third H7992 month , in the first H259 day of the month H2320 , that the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
2. Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
|
2. Son H1121 of man H120 , speak H559 unto H413 Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 , and to H413 his multitude H1995 ; Whom H413 H4310 art thou like H1819 in thy greatness H1433 ?

3. Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a forest-like shade, and of high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs.
|
3. Behold H2009 , the Assyrian H804 was a cedar H730 in Lebanon H3844 with fair H3303 branches H6057 , and with a shadowing H6751 shroud H2793 , and of a high H1362 stature H6967 ; and his top H6788 was H1961 among H996 the thick boughs H5688 .
|
|
4. The waters nourished it, the deep made it to grow: the rivers thereof ran round about its plantation; and it sent out its channels unto all the trees of the field.
|
4. The waters H4325 made him great H1431 , the deep H8415 set him up on high H7311 with H854 her rivers H5104 running H1980 round about H5439 his plants H4302 , and sent out H7971 her little rivers H8585 unto H413 all H3605 the trees H6086 of the field H7704 .
|
|
5. Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it shot them forth.
|
5. Therefore H5921 H3651 his height H6967 was exalted H1361 above all H4480 H3605 the trees H6086 of the field H7704 , and his boughs H5634 were multiplied H7235 , and his branches H6288 became long H748 because of the multitude H7227 of waters H4480 H4325 , when he shot forth H7971 .
|
|
6. All the birds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs; and under its branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young; and under its shadow dwelt all great nations.
|
6. All H3605 the fowls H5775 of heaven H8064 made their nests H7077 in his boughs H5589 , and under H8478 his branches H6288 did all H3605 the beasts H2416 of the field H7704 bring forth their young H3205 , and under his shadow H6738 dwelt H3427 all H3605 great H7227 nations H1471 .
|
|
7. Thus was it fair in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters.
|
7. Thus was he fair H3302 in his greatness H1433 , in the length H753 of his branches H1808 : for H3588 his root H8328 was H1961 by H413 great H7227 waters H4325 .
|
|
8. The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the fir-trees were not like its boughs, and the plane-trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like unto it in its beauty.
|
8. The cedars H730 in the garden H1588 of God H430 could not H3808 hide H6004 him : the fir trees H1265 were not like H1819 H3808 H413 his boughs H5589 , and the chestnut trees H6196 were H1961 not H3808 like his branches H6288 ; nor H3808 any H3605 tree H6086 in the garden H1588 of God H430 was like H1819 unto H413 him in his beauty H3308 .
|
|
9. I made it fair by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.
|
9. I have made H6213 him fair H3303 by the multitude H7230 of his branches H1808 : so that all H3605 the trees H6086 of Eden H5731 , that H834 were in the garden H1588 of God H430 , envied H7065 him.
|
|
10. Therefore thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thou art exalted in stature, and he hath set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
|
10. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Because H3282 H834 thou hast lifted up H1361 thyself in height H6967 , and he hath shot up H5414 his top H6788 among H413 H996 the thick boughs H5688 , and his heart H3824 is lifted up H7311 in his height H1363 ;
|
|
11. I will even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him; I have driven him out for his wickedness.
|
11. I have therefore delivered H5414 him into the hand H3027 of the mighty one H352 of the heathen H1471 ; he shall surely deal H6213 H6213 with him : I have driven him out H1644 for his wickedness H7562 .
|
|
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 watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
|
12. And strangers H2114 , the terrible H6184 of the nations H1471 , have cut him off H3772 , and have left H5203 him: upon H413 the mountains H2022 and in all H3605 the valleys H1516 his branches H1808 are fallen H5307 , and his boughs H6288 are broken H7665 by all H3605 the rivers H650 of the land H776 ; and all H3605 the people H5971 of the earth H776 are gone down H3381 from his shadow H4480 H6738 , and have left H5203 him.
|
|
13. Upon his ruin all the birds of the heavens shall dwell, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches;
|
13. Upon H5921 his ruin H4658 shall all H3605 the fowls H5775 of the heaven H8064 remain H7931 , and all H3605 the beasts H2416 of the field H7704 shall be H1961 upon H413 his branches H6288 :
|
|
14. to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up on their height, even 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.
|
14. To the end H4616 that H834 none H3808 of all H3605 the trees H6086 by the waters H4325 exalt themselves H1361 for their height H6967 , neither H3808 shoot up H5414 H853 their top H6788 among H413 H996 the thick boughs H5688 , neither H3808 their trees H352 stand up H5975 in their height H1363 , all H3605 that drink H8354 water H4325 : for H3588 they are all H3605 delivered H5414 unto death H4194 , to H413 the nether parts H8482 of the earth H776 , in the midst H8432 of the children H1121 of men H120 , with H413 them that go down H3381 to the pit H953 .

|
15. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when he went down to Sheol I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the rivers 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.
|
15. Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; In the day H3117 when he went down H3381 to the grave H7585 I caused a mourning H56 : I covered H3680 H853 the deep H8415 for H5921 him , and I restrained H4513 the floods H5104 thereof , and the great H7227 waters H4325 were stayed H3607 : and I caused Lebanon H3844 to mourn H6937 for H5921 him , and all H3605 the trees H6086 of the field H7704 fainted H5969 for H5921 him.
|
|
16. I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol with them that descend into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
|
16. I made the nations H1471 to shake H7493 at the sound H4480 H6963 of his fall H4658 , when I cast him down H3381 H853 to hell H7585 with H854 them that descend H3381 into the pit H953 : and all H3605 the trees H6086 of Eden H5731 , the choice H4005 and best H2896 of Lebanon H3844 , all H3605 that drink H8354 water H4325 , shall be comforted H5162 in the nether parts H8482 of the earth H776 .
|
|
17. They also went down into Sheol with him unto them that are slain by the sword; yea, they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations.
|
17. They H1992 also H1571 went down H3381 into hell H7585 with H854 him unto H413 them that be slain H2491 with the sword H2719 ; and they that were his arm H2220 , that dwelt H3427 under his shadow H6738 in the midst H8432 of the heathen H1471 .
|
|
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 are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah.
|
18. To H413 whom H4310 art thou thus like H1819 H3602 in glory H3519 and in greatness H1433 among the trees H6086 of Eden H5731 ? yet shalt thou be brought down H3381 with H854 the trees H6086 of Eden H5731 unto H413 the nether parts H8482 of the earth H776 : thou shalt lie H7901 in the midst H8432 of the uncircumcised H6189 with H854 them that be slain H2491 by the sword H2719 . This H1931 is Pharaoh H6547 and all H3605 his multitude H1995 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
