Chapter 32
1 In the twelfth year , in the twelfth month , in the first day of the month , the LORD ’s word came to me , saying ,
2 " 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 you are as a monster in the seas . You broke out with your rivers , and troubled the waters with your feet , and fouled their rivers .’"
3 The Lord GOD says : " I will spread out my net on you with a company of many peoples . They will bring you up in my net .
4 I will leave you on the land . I will cast you out on the open field , and will cause all the birds of the sky to settle on you . I will satisfy the animals of the whole earth with you .
5 I will lay your flesh on the mountains , and fill the valleys with your height .
6 I will also water the land in which you swim with your blood , even to the mountains . The watercourses will be full of you .
7 When I extinguish you , I will cover the heavens and make its stars dark . I will cover the sun with a cloud , and the moon won’t give its light.
8 I will make all the bright lights of the sky dark over you , and set darkness on your land ," says the Lord GOD .
9 " I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples , when I bring your destruction amongst the nations , into the countries which you have not known .
10 Yes, I will make many peoples amazed at you , and their kings will be horribly afraid for you , when I brandish my sword before them . They will tremble at every moment , every man for his own life , in the day of your fall ."
11 For the Lord GOD says : " The sword of the king of Babylon will come on you .
12 I will cause your multitude to fall by the swords of the mighty . They are all the ruthless of the nations . They will bring the pride of Egypt to nothing , and all its multitude will be destroyed .
13 I will destroy also all its animals from beside many waters . The foot of man won’t trouble them any more , nor will the hoofs of animals trouble them .
14 Then I will make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil ," says the Lord GOD .
15 " When I make the land of Egypt desolate and waste , a land destitute of that of which it was full , when I strike all those who dwell therein , then they will know that I am the LORD .
16 "‘" This is the lamentation with which they will lament . The daughters of the nations will lament with this . They will lament with it over Egypt , and over all her multitude ," says the Lord GOD .’"
17 Also in the twelfth year , in the fifteenth day of the month , the LORD ’s word came to me , saying ,
18 " Son of man , wail for the multitude of Egypt , and cast them down , even her and the daughters of the famous nations , to the lower parts of the earth, with those who go down into the pit.
19 Whom do you pass in beauty ? Go down , and be laid with the uncircumcised .
20 They will fall amongst those who are slain by the sword . She is delivered to the sword . Draw her away with all her multitudes .
21 The strong amongst the mighty will speak to him out of the middle of Sheol with those who help him . They have gone down . The uncircumcised lie still , slain by the sword .
22 "Asshur is there with all her company . Her graves are all around her . All of them are slain , fallen by the sword ,
23 whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit, and her company is around her grave , all of them slain , fallen by the sword , who caused terror in the land of the living .
24 " There is Elam and all her multitude around her grave ; all of them slain , fallen by the sword , who have gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living , and have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit.
25 They have made Elam a bed amongst the slain with all her multitude . Her graves are around her , all of them uncircumcised , slain by the sword ; for their terror was caused in the land of the living , and they have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit. He is put amongst those who are slain .
26 " There is Meshech , Tubal , and all their multitude . Their graves are around them , all of them uncircumcised , slain by the sword ; for they caused their terror in the land of the living .
27 They will not lie with the mighty who are fallen of the uncircumcised , who have gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war and have laid their swords under their heads . Their iniquities are on their bones ; for they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living .
28 "But you will be broken amongst the uncircumcised , and will lie with those who are slain by the sword .
29 " There is Edom, her kings , and all her princes , who in their might are laid with those who are slain by the sword . They will lie with the uncircumcised , and with those who go down to the pit.
30 " There are the princes of the north , all of them , and all the Sidonians , who have gone down with the slain . They are put to shame in the terror which they caused by their might . They lie uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword , and bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.
31 " Pharaoh will see them and will be comforted over all his multitude , even Pharaoh and all his army , slain by the sword ," says the Lord GOD .
32 " For I have put his terror in the land of the living . He will be laid amongst the uncircumcised , with those who are slain by the sword , even Pharaoh and all his multitude ," says the Lord GOD .
