31:1 ¶
And it came to passº
in the eleventhºº
year,º
in the thirdº
[month], in the firstº
[day] of the month,º
[that] the wordº
of the LORDº
cameº
untoº
me, saying,ºº |
|
31:2
Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: Whom art thou like in thy greatness? |
31:2
Sonº
of man,º
speakºº
untoº
Pharaohº
kingº
of Egypt,º
and toº
his multitude;º
Whomºº
art thou likeºº
in thy greatness?º |
|
31:3 ¶
Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a forest-like shade, and of high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs. |
31:3 ¶
Behold,º
the Assyrianº
[was] a cedarº
in Lebanonº
with fairº
branches,º
and with a shadowingºº
shroud,º
and of an highº
stature;º
and his topº
wasº
amongº
the thick boughs.º |
|
31:4
The waters nourished it, the deep made it to grow: the rivers thereof ran round about its plantation; and it sent out its channels unto all the trees of the field. |
31:4
The watersº
made him great,ºº
the deepº
set him up on highºº
withº
her riversº
runningºº
round aboutº
his plants,º
and sent outºº
her little riversº
untoº
allº
the treesº
of the field.º |
|
31:5
Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it shot [them] forth. |
31:5
Thereforeºº
his heightº
was exaltedºº
above allºº
the treesº
of the field,º
and his boughsº
were multiplied,ºº
and his branchesº
became longºº
because of the multitudeº
of waters,ºº
when he shot forth.ºº |
|
31:6
All the birds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs; and under its branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young; and under its shadow dwelt all great nations. |
31:6
Allº
the fowlsº
of heavenº
made their nestsºº
in his boughs,º
and underº
his branchesº
did allº
the beastsº
of the fieldº
bring forth their young,ºº
and under his shadowº
dweltºº
allº
greatº
nations.º |
|
31:7
Thus was it fair in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters. |
31:7
Thus was he fairºº
in his greatness,º
in the lengthº
of his branches:º
forº
his rootº
wasº
byº
greatº
waters.º |
|
31:8
The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the fir-trees were not like its boughs, and the plane-trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like unto it in its beauty. |
31:8
The cedarsº
in the gardenº
of Godº
could notº
hideºº
him: the fir treesº
were not likeºººº
his boughs,º
and the chesnut treesº
wereº
notº
like his branches;º
norº
anyº
treeº
in the gardenº
of Godº
was likeºº
untoº
him in his beauty.º |
|
31:9
I made it fair by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it. |
31:9
I have madeºº
him fairº
by the multitudeº
of his branches:º
so that allº
the treesº
of Eden,º
thatº
[were] in the gardenº
of God,º
enviedºº
him. |
|
31:10 ¶
Therefore thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thou art exalted in stature, and he hath set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height; |
31:10 ¶
Thereforeº
thusº
saithºº
the Lordº
GOD;º
Becauseºº
thou hast lifted upºº
thyself in height,º
and he hath shot upºº
his topº
amongºº
the thick boughs,º
and his heartº
is lifted upºº
in his height;º |
|
31:11
I will even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him; I have driven him out for his wickedness. |
31:11
I have therefore deliveredºº
him into the handº
of the mighty oneºº
of the heathen;º
he shall surelyºº
dealºº
with him: I have driven him outºº
for his wickedness.º |
|
31:12
And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him. |
31:12
And strangers,ºº
the terribleº
of the nations,º
have cut him off,ºº
and have leftºº
him: uponº
the mountainsº
and in allº
the valleysº
his branchesº
are fallen,ºº
and his boughsº
are brokenºº
by allº
the riversº
of the land;º
and allº
the peopleº
of the earthº
are gone downºº
from his shadow,ºº
and have leftºº
him. |
|
31:13
Upon his ruin all the birds of the heavens shall dwell, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches; |
31:13
Uponº
his ruinº
shall allº
the fowlsº
of the heavenº
remain,ºº
and allº
the beastsº
of the fieldº
shall beº
uponº
his branches:º |
|
31:14
to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up on their height, [even] all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit. |
31:14
To the endº
thatº
noneº
of allº
the treesº
by the watersº
exaltºº
themselvesº
for their height,º
neitherº
shoot upººº
their topº
amongºº
the thick boughs,º
neitherº
their treesº
stand upºº
in their height,º
allº
that drinkºº
water:º
forº
they are allº
deliveredºº
unto death,º
toº
the nether partsº
of the earth,º
in the midstº
of the childrenº
of men,º
withº
them that go downºº
to the pit.º |
|
31:15
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when he went down to Sheol I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the rivers thereof; and the great waters were stayed; and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. |
31:15
Thusº
saithºº
the Lordº
GOD;º
In the dayº
when he went downºº
to the graveº
I caused a mourning:ºº
I coveredººº
the deepº
forº
him, and I restrainedºº
the floodsº
thereof, and the greatº
watersº
were stayed:ºº
and I caused Lebanonº
to mournºº
forº
him, and allº
the treesº
of the fieldº
faintedº
forº
him. |
|
31:16
I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol with them that descend into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the nether parts of the earth. |
31:16
I made the nationsº
to shakeºº
at the soundºº
of his fall,º
when I cast him downººº
to hellº
withº
them that descendºº
into the pit:º
and allº
the treesº
of Eden,º
the choiceº
and bestº
of Lebanon,º
allº
that drinkºº
water,º
shall be comfortedºº
in the nether partsº
of the earth.º |
|
31:17
They also went down into Sheol with him unto them that are slain by the sword; yea, they that were his arm, [that] dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations. |
31:17
Theyº
alsoº
went downºº
into hellº
withº
him untoº
[them that be] slainº
with the sword;º
and [they that were] his arm,º
[that] dweltºº
under his shadowº
in the midstº
of the heathen.º |
|
31:18 ¶
To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah. |
31:18 ¶
Toº
whomº

among the treesº
of Eden?º
yet shalt thou be brought downºº
withº
the treesº

untoº
the nether partsº
of the earth:º
thou shalt lieºº

Thisº
[is] Pharaohº
