The Book of Ezekiel (WEB)
32: 1It happened in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the
word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 32:2Son 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 are you as a monster in
the seas; and you did break forth with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and
fouled their rivers. 32:3Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will spread out my net on you with a company
of many peoples; and they shall bring you up in my net. 32:4I will leave you on the land, I will cast
you forth on the open field, and will cause all the birds of the sky to settle on you, and I will
satisfy the animals of the whole earth with you. 32:5I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill
the valleys with your height. 32:6I will also water with your blood the land in which you swim, even
to the mountains; and the watercourses shall be full of you. 32:7When I shall extinguish you, I will
cover the heavens, and make the stars of it dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon
shall not give its light. 32:8All the bright lights of the sky will I make dark over you, and set
darkness on your land, says the Lord Yahweh. 32:9I will also vex the hearts of many peoples, when I
shall bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.
32:10Yes, I will make many peoples amazed at you, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for you,
when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man
for his own life, in the day of your fall. 32:11For thus says the Lord Yahweh: The sword of the king
of Babylon shall come on you. 32:12By the swords of the mighty will I cause your multitude to fall;
the terrible of the nations are they all: and they shall bring to nothing the pride of Egypt, and all
the multitude of it shall be destroyed. 32:13I will destroy also all the animals of it from beside many
waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of animals trouble
them. 32:14Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, says the Lord
Yahweh. 32:15When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that
whereof it was full, when I shall strike all those who dwell therein, then shall they know that I am
Yahweh. 32:16This is the lamentation with which they shall lament; the daughters of the nations
shall lament therewith; over Egypt, and over all her multitude, shall they lament therewith, says
the Lord Yahweh. 32:17It happened also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that
the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 32:18Son 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. 32:19Whom do you pass in beauty? Go down, and be laid with the
uncircumcised. 32:20They shall fall in the midst of those who are slain by the sword: she is delivered
to the sword; draw her away and all her multitudes. 32:21The strong among the mighty shall speak to
him out of the midst of Sheol with those who help him: they are gone down, they lie still, even the
uncircumcised, slain by the sword. 32:22Asshur is there and all her company; her graves are round
about her; all of them slain, fallen by the sword; 32:23whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of
the pit, and her company is round about her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who
caused terror in the land of the living. 32:24There is Elam and all her multitude round about her
grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who are 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. 32:25They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her
multitude; her graves are round about 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 in the midst of those who are slain. 32:26There is Meshech, Tubal, and all
their multitude; their graves are round about them; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword;
for they caused their terror in the land of the living. 32:27They shall not lie with the mighty who are
fallen of the uncircumcised, who are gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war, and have laid
their swords under their heads, and their iniquities are on their bones; for they were the terror of
the mighty in the land of the living. 32:28But you shall be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised,
and shall lie with those who are slain by the sword. 32:29There is Edom, her kings and all her
princes, who in their might are laid with those who are slain by the sword: they shall lie with the
uncircumcised, and with those who go down to the pit. 32:30There are the princes of the north, all of
them, and all the Sidonians, who are gone down with the slain; in the terror which they caused by
their might they are put to shame; and they lie uncircumcised with those who are slain by the
sword, and bear their shame with those who go down to the pit. 32:31Pharaoh shall see them, and
shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword, says
the Lord Yahweh. 32:32For I have put his terror in the land of the living; and he shall be laid in the
midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his
multitude, says the Lord Yahweh.
