CHAPTER 32

Lamentation against Pharaoh and Egypt

1And it took place in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, day one of the month, [³came ¹the word ²of the lord] to me, saying, 2O son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt! And you shall say to him, [²to a lion ³of nations ¹You were likened], and as a dragon, the one in the sea. And you gored in   your rivers, and disturbed water with  your feet, and trampled   your rivers. 3Thus says Adonai the lord; And I will put [²upon ³you ¹my net] by an assembly [²peoples ¹of many]; and I will lead you by   my hook. 4And I will stretch you upon the earth; the plains shall be filled. And I shall set upon you all the birds of the heaven; and I will fill up by you all the wild beasts of all the earth. 5And I will put   your flesh upon the mountains, and I will fill up ravines of   your blood. 6And I will water the earth from   your excrement; from   your multitude upon the mountains [²the ravines ¹I will fill up] with you. 7And I will cover up [²in   ³your being extinguished ¹the heaven], and I will darken   his stars; [²the sun ³by ⁴a cloud ¹I will cover], and the moon -- in no way shall [²appear   ¹her light]. 8All the things  shining light in the heaven shall darken over you, and I will appoint darkness over   your land, says the Lord the lord. 9And I will provoke to anger the heart of many peoples, whenever I lead you as a captivity into the nations, into a land which you knew not. 10And [³shall be gloomy ⁴over ⁵you ²nations ¹many], and   their kings [²by a change of state ¹shall be amazed] in the flying   of my broadsword unto their faces, the ones waiting for   their downfall from the day of your downfall. 11For thus says the Lord the lord; The broadsword of the king of Babylon shall come upon you. 12With swords of giants even I shall throw down   your strength, pestilent ones from all nations. And they shall destroy the insolence of Egypt, and [³shall be broken ¹all   ²her strength]. 13And I will destroy all   her cattle from [²water ¹great]; and in no way shall [³disturb ⁴it ¹a foot ²of man] any more; and the track of cattle in no way shall trample it. 14Then shall [²be still   ¹their waters], and   their rivers [²as ³oil ¹shall go forth], says Adonai the lord. 15Whenever I shall give Egypt unto destruction, and [³shall be made desolate ¹the ²land] with the fullness of it; whenever I shall scatter all the ones dwelling in it, even they shall know that I am the lord. 16There is a lamentation and they shall lament it; and the daughters of the nations shall lament it over Egypt; and over all   her strength they shall lament her, says the Lord the lord. 17And it happened in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth of the month, [³came ¹the word ²of the lord] to me saying,

Lament over Egypt

18O son of man, lament over the multitude of Egypt, for [³shall bring ⁵down ⁴her ¹the ²daughters]; even the nations dead into the depths of the earth, to the ones going down into the pit. 19From [²waters ¹good-looking] descend and sleep with the uncircumcised! 20Among the midst of ones slain by sword they shall fall with him, and [³shall sleep ¹all   ²of his strength]. 21And [³shall say ⁴to you ¹the ²giants], into the depth of the pit [²not ³best ¹you are]; you go down and sleep with   uncircumcised! in the midst of the ones slain by the sword. 22There is Assyria and all   his gathering   around   his grave; all slain   having fallen by the sword; 23the ones given   his graves in the sides of the pit, and [²existed   ¹his gathering] surrounding   his tomb. All the slain   having fallen by the sword, the ones giving   them fear upon the land of life. 24There is Elam and all   his force surrounding   his tomb; all the slain   having fallen by the sword, and the ones going down uncircumcised into [²of the earth ¹the depth], the ones putting the fear of them upon the land of life; and they took   their torment with the ones going down into the pit. 25In the midst of the slain. 26There they put Meshech and Tubal, and all   his strength surrounding   his tomb; all   his slain ones, all the uncircumcised ones, slain ones by the sword, the ones putting   their fear upon the land of life. 27And they sleep with the giants   having fallen from the eon, the ones who went down into Hades with weapons of warfare; and they put   their swords under   their heads, and [²came   ¹their lawless deeds] upon   their bones, for they were frightened giants during   their life. 28And you [²in ³the midst ⁴of the uncircumcised ¹shall be destroyed], and shall sleep with the ones being slain by sword. 29There is  Edom and   her kings, and all the rulers. Assyria, the ones giving   their strength to the wound of the sword; these [²with ³the slain ¹sleep], with the ones going down into the pit. 30There are  the rulers of the north, all these, all the commandants of Assyria, the ones going down with the slain, with the fear of them. And in   their strength being ashamed they sleep uncircumcised with ones slain of the sword; and they carry away   their torment with the ones going down into the pit. 31Those [³shall see ¹king ²Pharaoh], and he shall be comforted over all   their strength. Slain by the sword, Pharaoh and all   his force, says the Lord the lord. 32For I have put the fear of him upon the land of life; yet he shall sleep in the midst of the uncircumcised with ones slain by the sword, even Pharaoh, and all   his multitude, says the Lord the lord.
