A Lament for Pharaoh King of Egypt
In the twelfth year, on the first day of the twelfth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Ezk 30:20Ezk 32:17Ezk 1:2Ezk 29:1Ezk 29:17Ezk 31:1Ezk 33:21 “Son of man, take up a lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him: Ezk 29:3Nam 2:11-13Ezk 27:2Ezk 19:1-6Ezk 28:12Ezk 32:16Ezk 34:18Ezk 38:13
‘You are like a lion among the nations;
you are like a monster in the seas.
You thrash about in your rivers,
churning up the waters with your feet
and muddying the streams.’
This is what the Lord GOD says: Ezk 12:13Jer 16:16Ecc 9:12Ezk 17:20Hab 1:14-17Hos 7:12Lam 1:13
‘I will spread My net over you
with a company of many peoples,
and they will draw you up in My net.
I will abandon you on the land Isa 18:6Ezk 29:5Ezk 31:12-131Sa 17:44-46Ezk 39:17-20Ezk 39:4-5Isa 14:19Isa 34:2-7
and hurl you into the open field.
I will cause all the birds of the air
to settle upon you,
and all the beasts of the earth
to eat their fill of you.
I will put your flesh on the mountains Ezk 31:12
and fill the valleys with your remains. 1
I will drench the land Isa 34:3Exo 7:17Isa 34:7Rev 14:20Rev 16:6
with the flow of your blood,
all the way to the mountains—
the ravines will be filled.
When I extinguish you, Jol 2:31Mat 24:29Ezk 30:3Isa 13:10Isa 34:4Jol 2:2Jol 3:15Amo 8:9
I will cover the heavens
and darken their stars.
I will cover the sun with a cloud,
and the moon will not give its light.
All the shining lights in the heavens Gen 1:14Pro 20:20
I will darken over you,
and I will bring darkness
upon your land,’
declares the Lord GOD.
‘I will trouble the hearts of many peoples, Rev 18:10-15Ezk 29:12Ezk 30:23Ezk 30:26Jer 25:15-25Rev 11:18
when I bring about your destruction among the nations,
in countries 2you do not know.
I will cause many peoples Ezk 26:16Ezk 27:351Ki 9:8Deu 29:24Deu 32:41Exo 15:14-16Ezk 30:9Jer 51:9
to be appalled over you,
and their kings will shudder in horror because of you
when I brandish My sword before them.
On the day of your downfall
each of them will tremble
every moment for his life.’
For this is what the Lord GOD says: Ezk 26:7Ezk 30:22-25Ezk 30:4Jer 43:10Jer 46:13Jer 46:24-26
‘The sword of the king of Babylon
will come against you!
I will make your hordes fall Ezk 28:7Ezk 29:19Ezk 31:11Deu 28:49-50Ezk 30:11Hab 1:6-7Isa 25:2-3
by the swords of the mighty,
the most ruthless of all nations.
They will ravage the pride of Egypt
and all her multitudes will be destroyed.
I will slaughter all her cattle Ezk 29:11Ezk 29:8Ezk 30:12Ezk 32:2Ezk 34:18
beside the abundant waters.
No human foot will muddy them again,
and no cattle hooves will disturb them.
Then I will let her waters settle
and will make her rivers flow like oil,’
declares the Lord GOD.
‘When I make the land of Egypt a desolation Exo 7:5Ezk 6:7Exo 14:18Exo 14:4Ezk 29:12Ezk 29:19-20Ezk 30:26Psa 83:17-18
and empty it of all that filled it,
when I strike down all who live there,
then they will know that I am the LORD.’
This is the lament they will chant for her; the daughters of the nations will chant it. Over Egypt and all her multitudes they will chant it, declares the Lord GOD.” 2Ch 35:252Sa 1:17Ezk 26:17Ezk 32:22Sa 3:33-34Jer 9:17
Egypt Cast into the Pit
In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, 3 the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Ezk 32:1Ezk 1:2Ezk 31:1Ezk 33:21 “Son of man, wail for the multitudes of Egypt, and consign her and the daughters of the mighty nations to the depths of the earth with those who descend to the Pit: Ezk 31:14Ezk 32:2Ezk 32:16Jer 1:10Mic 1:8Ezk 26:20Ezk 31:16Ezk 43:3
Whom do you surpass in beauty? Ezk 31:18Ezk 32:29-30Jer 9:25-26Ezk 28:10Ezk 31:2Ezk 32:21Ezk 32:241Sa 17:26
Go down and be placed with the uncircumcised!
They will fall among those slain by the sword. Psa 28:3Ezk 32:23-26Ezk 29:8-12Ezk 32:29-30Jer 22:19Pro 24:11
The sword is appointed!
Let them drag her away
along with all her multitudes.
Mighty chiefs will speak from the midst of Sheol Isa 14:9-10Ezk 32:27Ezk 32:19Ezk 32:24-25Isa 1:31Luk 16:23-24Num 16:30-34Pro 14:32
about Egypt and her allies:
‘They have come down and lie with the uncircumcised,
with those slain by the sword.’
Assyria is there with her whole company; Ezk 32:26Ezk 32:24Ezk 32:29-30Ezk 31:3-18Isa 30:33Isa 37:36-38Nam 1:7-12Nam 3:1-19
her graves are all around her.
All of them are slain,
fallen by the sword.
Her graves are set in the depths of the Pit, Ezk 26:20Ezk 26:17Ezk 32:24-27Psa 27:13Ezk 32:32Isa 14:15-16Isa 38:11Isa 51:12-13
and her company is all around her grave.
All of them are slain,
fallen by the sword—
those who once spread terror
in the land of the living.
Elam is there Ezk 16:52Ezk 16:54Ezk 26:20Ezk 32:18Ezk 32:25Ezk 32:30Gen 10:22Jer 49:34-39
with all her multitudes around her grave.
All of them are slain,
fallen by the sword—
those who went down uncircumcised
to the earth below,
who once spread their terror
in the land of the living.
They bear their disgrace
with those who descend to the Pit.
Among the slain they prepare Psa 139:81Ch 10:42Sa 1:20Act 7:51Ezk 32:19Ezk 32:21Ezk 44:7Ezk 44:9
a resting place for Elam
with all her hordes,
with her graves all around her.
All of them are uncircumcised,
slain by the sword,
although their terror was once spread
in the land of the living.
They bear their disgrace
with those who descend to the Pit.
They are placed among the slain.
Meshech and Tubal are there Ezk 27:13Gen 10:2Ezk 38:2-3Ezk 39:11Ch 1:5Ezk 32:19-20Ezk 32:23-24Ezk 32:27
with all their multitudes,
with their graves all around them.
All of them are uncircumcised,
slain by the sword,
because they spread their terror
in the land of the living.
They do not lie down Isa 14:18-19Ezk 32:21Job 20:11Job 3:13-15Psa 109:182Co 10:4Ezk 18:20Isa 54:17
with the fallen warriors of old, 4
who went down to Sheol
with their weapons of war,
whose swords were placed under their heads,
whose shields 5rested on their bones,
although the terror of the mighty
was once in the land of the living.
But you too will be shattered Dan 2:34-35
and lie down among the uncircumcised,
with those slain by the sword.
Edom is there, Jer 49:7-22Amo 1:11-12Ezk 25:1-17Ezk 35:1-15Gen 25:30Gen 36:1-19Isa 34:1-17Isa 63:1-6
and all her kings and princes,
who despite their might
are laid among those slain by the sword.
They lie down with the uncircumcised,
with those who descend to the Pit.
All the leaders of the north Ezk 38:6Ezk 28:21Ezk 38:15Ezk 39:2Ezk 32:24-25Jer 25:22Jer 25:26
and all the Sidonians are there;
they went down in disgrace with the slain,
despite the terror of their might.
They lie uncircumcised
with those slain by the sword
and bear their shame
with those who descend to the Pit.
Pharaoh will see them Ezk 31:16Ezk 14:22Lam 2:13
and be comforted over all his multitude—
Pharaoh and all his army,
slain by the sword,
declares the Lord GOD.
For I will spread My terror Ezk 32:272Co 5:11Gen 35:5Heb 10:31Jer 25:15-38Job 31:23Rev 6:15-17Zep 3:6-8
in the land of the living,
so that Pharaoh and all his multitude
will be laid to rest among the uncircumcised,
with those slain by the sword,
declares the Lord GOD.”
