World English Bible Classic
[1] In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, “Yahweh’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 Yahweh 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 Yahweh.
[9] “I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples,
when I bring your destruction among 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 Yahweh 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 Yahweh.
[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 Yahweh. [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 Yahweh.’ ” [17] Also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, Yahweh’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 among those who are slain by the sword. She is delivered to the sword. Draw her away with all her multitudes. [21] The strong among 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 among 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 among 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 among 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 Yahweh. [32] “For I have put his terror in the land of the living. He will be laid among the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude,” says the Lord Yahweh.
“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 Yahweh says:

They will bring you up in my net.

Pharaoh’s Doom
[1] And it came to pass in the twelfth H8147 year, H8141 in the twelfth month, H2320 in the first H259 day of the month, H2320 that the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto me, saying, H559 (QalInf) [2] Son H1121 of man, H120 take up H5375 (QalImpv) a lamentation H7015 for Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt, H4714 and say H559 (QalPerf) unto him, Thou art like H1819 (NiphPerf) a young lion H3715 of the nations, H1471 and thou art as a whale§ H8577 (Ketiv) in the seas: H3220 and thou camest forth H1518 (QalImpf) with thy rivers, H5104 and troubledst H1804 (QalImpf) the waters H4325 with thy feet, H7272 and fouledst H7515 (QalImpf) their rivers. H5104 [3] Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 I will therefore spread out H6566 (QalPerf) my net H7568 over thee with a company H6951 of many H7227 people; H5971 and they shall bring thee up H5927 (HiphPerf) in my net. H2764 [4] Then will I leave H5203 (QalPerf) thee upon the land, H776 I will cast thee forth H2904 (HiphImpf) upon the open H6440 field, H7704 and will cause all the fowls H5775 of the heaven H8064 to remain H7931 (HiphPerf) upon thee, and I will fill H7646 (HiphPerf) the beasts H2416 of the whole earth H776 with thee. [5] And I will lay H5414 (QalPerf) thy flesh H1320 upon the mountains, H2022 and fill H4390 (PielPerf) the valleys H1516 with thy height. H7419 [6] I will also water H8248 (HiphPerf) with thy blood H1818 the land H776 wherein thou swimmest, H6824§ even to the mountains; H2022 and the rivers H650 shall be full H4390 (NiphImpf) of thee. [7] And when I shall put thee out, H3518 (PielInf)§ I will cover H3680 (PielPerf) the heaven, H8064 and make H6937 the stars H3556 thereof dark; H6937 (HiphPerf) I will cover H3680 (PielImpf) the sun H8121 with a cloud, H6051 and the moon H3394 shall not give H215 (HiphImpf) her light. H216 [8] All the bright H3974 lights H216 of heaven H8064§ will I make dark H6937 (HiphImpf) over thee,§ and set H5414 (QalPerf) darkness H2822 upon thy land, H776 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God. H3069 [9] I will also vex H3707 (HiphPerf)§ the hearts H3820 of many H7227 people, H5971 when I shall bring H935 (HiphInf) thy destruction H7667 among the nations, H1471 into the countries H776 which thou hast not known. H3045 (QalPerf) [10] Yea, I will make many H7227 people H5971 amazed H8074 (HiphPerf) at thee, and their kings H4428 shall be horribly H8178 afraid H8175 (QalImpf) for thee, when I shall brandish H5774 (PoleInf) my sword H2719 before them; H6440 and they shall tremble H2729 (QalPerf) at every moment, H7281 every man H376 for his own life, H5315 in the day H3117 of thy fall. H4658 [11] For thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 The sword H2719 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894 shall come H935 (QalImpf) upon thee. [12] By the swords H2719 of the mighty H1368 will I cause thy multitude H1995 to fall, H5307 (HiphImpf) the terrible H6184 of the nations, H1471 all of them: and they shall spoil H7703 (QalPerf) the pomp H1347 of Egypt, H4714 and all the multitude H1995 thereof shall be destroyed. H8045 (NiphPerf) [13] I will destroy H6 (HiphPerf) also all the beasts H929 thereof from H5921 beside the great H7227 waters; H4325 neither shall the foot H7272 of man H120 trouble H1804 (QalImpf) them any more, nor the hoofs H6541 of beasts H929 trouble H1804 (QalImpf) them. [14] Then will I make their waters H4325 deep, H8257 (HiphImpf) and cause their rivers H5104 to run H3212 (HiphImpf) like oil, H8081 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God. H3069 [15] When I shall make H5414 (QalInf) the land H776 of Egypt H4714 desolate, H8077 and the country H776 shall be destitute H8074 (NiphPtc) of that whereof it was full, H4393§ when I shall smite H5221 (HiphInf) all them that dwell H3427 (QalActPtc) therein, then shall they know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord. H3068 [16] This is the lamentation H7015 wherewith they shall lament H6969 (PolePerf) her: the daughters H1323 of the nations H1471 shall lament H6969 (PoleImpf) her: they shall lament H6969 (PoleImpf) for her, even for Egypt, H4714 and for all her multitude, H1995 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God. H3069 [17] It came to pass also in the twelfth H8147 year, H8141 in the fifteenth H2568 day of the month, H2320 that the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto me, saying, H559 (QalInf) [18] Son H1121 of man, H120 wail H5091 (QalImpv) for the multitude H1995 of Egypt, H4714 and cast them down, H3381 (HiphImpv) even her, and the daughters H1323 of the famous H117 nations, H1471 unto the nether parts H8482 of the earth, H776 with them that go down H3381 (QalActPtc) into the pit. H953 [19] Whom dost thou pass in beauty? H5276 (QalPerf) go down, H3381 (QalImpv) and be thou laid H7901 (HophImpv) with the uncircumcised. H6189 [20] They shall fall H5307 (QalImpf) in the midst H8432 of them that are slain H2491 by the sword: H2719 she is delivered H5414 (NiphPerf) to the sword: H2719§ draw H4900 (QalImpv) her and all her multitudes. H1995 [21] The strong H410 among the mighty H1368 shall speak H1696 (PielImpf) to him out of the midst H8432 of hell H7585 with them that help H5826 (QalActPtc) him: they are gone down, H3381 (QalPerf) they lie H7901 (QalPerf) uncircumcised, H6189 slain H2491 by the sword. H2719 [22] Asshur H804 is there and all her company: H6951 his graves H6913 are about H5439 him: all of them slain, H2491 fallen H5307 (QalActPtc) by the sword: H2719 [23] whose graves H6913 are set H5414 (NiphPerf) in the sides H3411 of the pit, H953 and her company H6951 is round about H5439 her grave: H6900 all of them slain, H2491 fallen H5307 (QalActPtc) by the sword, H2719 which caused H5414 (QalPerf) terror H2851§ in the land H776 of the living. H2416 [24] There is Elam H5867 and all her multitude H1995 round about H5439 her grave, H6900 all of them slain, H2491 fallen H5307 (QalActPtc) by the sword, H2719 which are gone down H3381 (QalPerf) uncircumcised H6189 into the nether parts H8482 of the earth, H776 which caused H5414 (QalPerf) their terror H2851 in the land H776 of the living; H2416 yet have they borne H5375 (QalImpf) their shame H3639 with them that go down H3381 (QalActPtc) to the pit. H953 [25] They have set H5414 (QalPerf) her a bed H4904 in the midst H8432 of the slain H2491 with all her multitude: H1995 her graves H6913 are round about H5439 him: all of them uncircumcised, H6189 slain H2491 by the sword: H2719 though their terror H2851 was caused H5414 (NiphPtc) in the land H776 of the living, H2416 yet have they borne H5375 (QalImpf) their shame H3639 with them that go down H3381 (QalActPtc) to the pit: H953 he is put H5414 (NiphPerf) in the midst H8432 of them that be slain. H2491 [26] There is Meshech, H4902 Tubal, H8422 and all her multitude: H1995 her graves H6913 are round about H5439 him: all of them uncircumcised, H6189 slain H2490 (PualPtc) by the sword, H2719 though they caused H5414 (QalPerf) their terror H2851 in the land H776 of the living. H2416 [27] And they shall not lie H7901 (QalImpf) with the mighty H1368 that are fallen H5307 (QalActPtc) of the uncircumcised, H6189 which are gone down H3381 (QalPerf) to hell H7585 with their weapons H3627 of war: H4421 and they have laid H5414 (QalImpf) their swords H2719 under their heads, H7218 but their iniquities H5771 shall be upon their bones, H6106 though they were the terror H2851 of the mighty H1368 in the land H776 of the living. H2416 [28] Yea, thou shalt be broken H7665 (NiphImpf) in the midst H8432 of the uncircumcised, H6189 and shalt lie H7901 (QalImpf) with them that are slain H2491 with the sword. H2719 [29] There is Edom, H123 her kings, H4428 and all her princes, H5387 which with their might H1369 are laid H5414 (NiphPerf)§ by them that were slain H2491 by the sword: H2719 they shall lie H7901 (QalImpf) with the uncircumcised, H6189 and with them that go down H3381 (QalActPtc) to the pit. H953 [30] There be the princes H5257 of the north, H6828 all of them, and all the Zidonians, H6722 which are gone down H3381 (QalPerf) with the slain; H2491 with their terror H2851 they are ashamed H954 (QalActPtc) of their might; H1369 and they lie H7901 (QalImpf) uncircumcised H6189 with them that be slain H2491 by the sword, H2719 and bear H5375 (QalImpf) their shame H3639 with them that go down H3381 (QalActPtc) to the pit. H953 [31] Pharaoh H6547 shall see H7200 (QalImpf) them, and shall be comforted H5162 (NiphPerf) over all his multitude, H1995 even Pharaoh H6547 and all his army H2428 slain H2491 by the sword, H2719 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God. H3069 [32] For I have caused H5414 (QalPerf) my terror H2851 in the land H776 of the living: H2416 and he shall be laid H7901 (HophPerf) in the midst H8432 of the uncircumcised H6189 with them that are slain H2491 with the sword, H2719 even Pharaoh H6547 and all his multitude, H1995 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God.
