Pharaoh to Be Slain

31In the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:H259H6240H8141H7992H259H2320H1697H3068H559 2"Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his multitude: "Whom are you like in your greatness?H1121H120H559H6547H4428H4714H1995H1819H1433 3Behold, Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches and forest shade, and of towering height, its top among the clouds.H804H730H3844H3303H6057H6751H2793H1362H6967H6788H5688 4The waters nourished it; the deep made it grow tall, making its rivers flow around the place of its planting, sending forth its streams to all the trees of the field.H4325H1431H8415H7311H5104H1980H5439H4302H7971H8585H6086H7704 5So it towered high above all the trees of the field; its boughs grew large and its branches long from abundant water in its shoots.H6967H1361H6086H7704H5634H7235H6288H748H7227H4325H7971 6All the birds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs; under its branches all the beasts of the field gave birth to their young, and under its shadow lived all great nations.H5775H8064H7077H5589H6288H2416H7704H3205H6738H3427H7227H1471 7It was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its roots went down to abundant waters.H3302H1433H753H1808H8328H7227H4325 8The cedars in the garden of God could not rival it, nor the fir trees equal its boughs; neither were the plane trees like its branches; no tree in the garden of God was its equal in beauty.H730H1588H430H6004H1265H1819H5589H6196H6288H6086H1588H430H1819H3308 9I made it beautiful in the mass of its branches, and all the trees of Eden envied it, that were in the garden of God.H6213H3303H7230H1808H6086H5731H1588H430H7065 10"Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because it towered high and set its top among the clouds, and its heart was proud of its height,H559H136H3069H1361H6967H5414H6788H5688H3824H7311H1363 11I will give it into the hand of a mighty one of the nations. He shall surely deal with it as its wickedness deserves. I have cast it out.H5414H3027H410H1471H6213H6213H1644H7562 12Foreigners, the most ruthless of nations, have cut it down and left it. On the mountains and in all the valleys its branches have fallen, and its boughs have been broken in all the ravines of the land, and all the peoples of the earth have gone away from its shadow and left it.H2114H6184H1471H3772H5203H2022H1516H1808H5307H6288H7665H650H776H5971H776H3381H6738H5203 13On its fallen trunk dwell all the birds of the heavens, and on its branches are all the beasts of the field.H4658H5775H8064H7931H2416H7704H6288 14All this is in order that no trees by the waters may grow to towering height or set their tops among the clouds, and that no trees that drink water may reach up to them in height. For they are all given over to death, to the world below, among the children of man, with those who go down to the pit.H6086H4325H1361H6967H5414H6788H5688H352H5975H1363H8354H4325H5414H4194H8482H776H8432H1121H120H3381H953 15"Thus says the Lord GOD: On the day the cedar went down to Sheol I caused mourning; I closed the deep over it, and restrained its rivers, and many waters were stopped. I clothed Lebanon in gloom for it, and all the trees of the field fainted because of it.H559H136H3069H3117H3381H7585H56H3680H8415H4513H5104H7227H4325H3607H3844H6937H6086H7704H5969 16I made the nations quake at the sound of its fall, when I cast it down to Sheol with those who go down to the pit. And all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the world below.H1471H7493H6963H4658H3381H7585H3381H953H6086H5731H4005H2896H3844H8354H4325H5162H8482H776 17They also went down to Sheol with it, to those who are slain by the sword; yes, those who were its arm, who lived under its shadow among the nations.H3381H7585H2491H2719H2220H3427H6738H8432H1471 18"Whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? You shall be brought down with the trees of Eden to the world below. You shall lie among the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. "This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord GOD."H1819H3519H1433H6086H5731H3381H6086H5731H8482H776H7901H8432H6189H2491H2719H6547H1995H5002H136H3069
