31:1 ¶
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, |
|
31:1 ¶
And it came to pass°
in the eleventh°°
year,°
in the third°
[month], in the first°
[day] of the month,°
[that] the word°
of Yahweh°
came°
unto°
me, saying,°° |
31:2
Son of man, say to Pharaoh{gr.Pharao} king of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, and to his multitude; To whom hast thou compared thyself in thy haughtiness? |
|
31:2
Son°
of man,°
speak°°
unto°
Pharaoh°
king°
of Egypt,°
and to°
his multitude;°
Whom°°
art thou like°°
in thy greatness?° |
31:3 ¶
Behold, the Assyrian was a cypress in Lebanon{gr.Libanus}, and was fair in shoots, and high in stature: his top reached to the midst of the clouds. |
|
31:3 ¶
Behold,°
the Assyrian°
[was] a cedar°
in Lebanon°
with fair°
branches,°
and with a shadowing°°
shroud,°
and of an high°
stature;°
and his top°
was°
among°
the thick boughs.° |
31:4
The water nourished him, the depth made him grow tall; she led her rivers round about his plants, and she sent forth her streams to all the trees of the field. |
|
31:4
The waters°
made him great,°°
the deep°
set him up on high°°
with°
her rivers°
running°°
round about°
his plants,°
and sent out°°
her little rivers°
unto°
all°
the trees°
of the field.° |
31:5
Therefore, was his stature exalted above all the trees of the field, and his branches spread far by the help of much water. |
|
31:5
Therefore°°
his height°
was exalted°°
above all°°
the trees°
of the field,°
and his boughs°
were multiplied,°°
and his branches°
became long°°
because of the multitude°
of waters,°°
when he shot forth.°° |
31:6
All the birds of the sky made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches all the wild beasts of the field bred; the whole multitude of nations dwelt under his shadow. |
|
31:6
All°
the fowls°
of heaven°
made their nests°°
in his boughs,°
and under°
his branches°
did all°
the beasts°
of the field°
bring forth their young,°°
and under his shadow°
dwelt°°
all°
great°
nations.° |
31:7
And he was fair in his height by reason of the multitude of his branches: for his roots were amidst much water. |
|
31:7
Thus was he fair°°
in his greatness,°
in the length°
of his branches:°
for°
his root°
was°
by°
great°
waters.° |
31:8
And such cypresses [as this] were in the paradise of God; and there were no pines like his shoots, and there were no firs like his branches: no tree in the paradise of God was like him in his beauty, |
|
31:8
The cedars°
in the garden°
of Elohim°
could not°
hide°°
him: the fir trees°
were not like°°°°
his boughs,°
and the chesnut trees°
were°
not°
like his branches;°
nor°
any°
tree°
in the garden°
of Elohim°
was like°°
unto°
him in his beauty.° |
31:9
because of the multitude of his branches: and the trees of God's paradise of delight envied him. |
|
31:9
I have made°°
him fair°
by the multitude°
of his branches:°
so that all°
the trees°
of Eden,°
that°
[were] in the garden°
of Elohim,°
envied°°
him. |
31:10 ¶
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Because thou art grown great, and hast set thy top in the midst of the clouds, and I saw when he was exalted; |
|
31:10 ¶
Therefore°
thus°
saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh;°
Because°°
thou hast lifted up°°
thyself in height,°
and he hath shot up°°
his top°
among°°
the thick boughs,°
and his heart°
is lifted up°°
in his height;° |
31:11
therefore I delivered him into the hands of the prince of the nations, and he wrought his destruction. |
|
31:11
I have therefore delivered°°
him into the hand°
of the mighty one°°
of the heathen;°
he shall surely°°
deal°°
with him: I have driven him out°°
for his wickedness.° |
31:12
And ravaging strangers from the nations have destroyed him, and have cast him down upon the mountains: his branches fell in all the valleys, and his boughs were broken in every field of the land; and all the people of the nations are gone down from their shelter, and have laid him low. |
|
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 rivers°
of the land;°
and all°
the people°
of the earth°
are gone down°°
from his shadow,°°
and have left°°
him. |
31:13
All the birds of the sky have settled on his fallen trunk, and all the wild beasts of the field came upon his boughs: |
|
31:13
Upon°
his ruin°
shall all°
the fowls°
of the heaven°
remain,°°
and all°
the beasts°
of the field°
shall be°
upon°
his branches:° |
31:14
in order that none of the trees by the water should exalt themselves by reason of their size: whereas they set their top in the midst of the clouds, yet they continued not in their high state in their place, all that drank water, all were consigned to death, to the depth of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit. |
|
31:14
To the end°
that°
none°
of all°
the trees°
by the waters°
exalt°°
themselves°
for their height,°
neither°
shoot up°°°
their top°
among°°
the thick boughs,°
neither°
their trees°
stand up°°
in their height,°
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.° |
31:15
Thus saith the Lord God; In the day wherein he went down to the grave{gr.Hades}, the deep mourned for him: and I stayed her floods, and restrained her abundance of water: and Lebanon{gr.Libanus} saddened for him, all the trees of the field fainted for him. |
|
31:15
Thus°
saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh;°
In the day°
when he went down°°
to the grave°
I caused a mourning:°°
I covered°°°
the deep°
for°
him, and I restrained°°
the floods°
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. |
31:16
At the sound of his fall the nations quaked, when I brought him down to the grave{gr.Hades} with them that go down to the pit: and all the trees of Delight comforted him in the heart, and the choice of [plants] of Lebanon{gr.Libanus}, all that drink water. |
|
31:16
I made the nations°
to shake°°
at the sound°°
of his fall,°
when I cast him down°°°
to hell°
with°
them that descend°°
into the pit:°
and all°
the trees°
of Eden,°
the choice°
and best°
of Lebanon,°
all°
that drink°°
water,°
shall be comforted°°
in the nether parts°
of the earth.° |
31:17
For they went down to hell with him among the slain with the sword; and his seed, [even] they that dwelt under his shadow, perished in the midst of their life. |
|
31:17
They°
also°
went down°°
into hell°
with°
him unto°
[them that be] slain°
with the sword;°
and [they that were] his arm,°
[that] dwelt°°
under his shadow°
in the midst°
of the heathen.° |
31:18 ¶
To whom art thou compared? descend, and be thou debased with the trees of paradise to the depth of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword. Thus shall Pharaoh{gr.Pharao} be, and the multitude of his host, saith the Lord God. |
|
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 be] slain°
by the sword.°
This°
[is] Pharaoh°
and all°
his multitude,°
saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh.° |
