EZE-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 the LORD came
unto me,
saying,
EZE-31:2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to
his multitude;
Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
EZE-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.
EZE-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.
EZE-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.
EZE-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.
EZE-31:7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of
his branches:
for his root was by great waters.
EZE-31:8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him:
the fir trees
were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like
his branches;
nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his
beauty.
EZE-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 God, envied him.
EZE-31:10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; 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;
EZE-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.
EZE-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.
EZE-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:
EZE-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.
EZE-31:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD; 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.
EZE-31:16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall,
