Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaohking of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a younglion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thoucamestforthwith thy rivers, and troubledst the waterswith thy feet, and fouledsttheirrivers.
Thenwill I leavetheeupon the land, I willcasttheeforthupon the openfield, and willcause all the fowls of the heaven to remainuponthee, and I willfill the beasts of the wholeearthwiththee.
And when I shall put thee out, I willcover the heaven, and make the starsthereofdark; I willcover the sun with a cloud, and the moonshall not give her light.
Yea, I willmakemanypeopleamazed at thee, and theirkingsshall be horriblyafraid for thee, when I shallbrandish my swordbeforethem; and theyshalltremble at everymoment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.
By the swords of the mightywill I cause thy multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them: and theyshallspoil the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitudethereofshall be destroyed.
I willdestroyalso all the beaststhereoffrombeside the greatwaters; neithershall the foot of man troublethem any more, nor the hoofs of beaststroublethem.
When I shallmake the land of Egyptdesolate, and the countryshall be destitute of thatwhereof it was full, when I shallsmite all themthatdwelltherein, thenshalltheyknowthat I am the LORD.
This is the lamentationwherewiththeyshalllament her: the daughters of the nationsshalllament her: theyshalllament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and castthemdown, even her, and the daughters of the famousnations, unto the netherparts of the earth, withthemthat go downinto the pit.
The strongamong the mightyshallspeak to him out of the midst of hellwiththemthathelp him: they are gonedown, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
Whosegraves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is roundabout her grave: all of themslain, fallen by the sword, whichcausedterror in the land of the living.
There is Elam and all her multituderoundabout her grave, all of themslain, fallen by the sword, which are gonedownuncircumcisedinto the netherparts of the earth, whichcausedtheirterror in the land of the living; yet havetheybornetheirshamewiththemthat go down to the pit.
Theyhave set her a bed in the midst of the slainwith all her multitude: her graves are roundabout him: all of themuncircumcised, slain by the sword: thoughtheirterror was caused in the land of the living, yet havetheybornetheirshamewiththemthat go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of themthat be slain.
There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves are roundabout him: all of themuncircumcised, slain by the sword, thoughtheycausedtheirterror in the land of the living.
And theyshall not lie with the mightythat are fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gonedown to hellwiththeirweapons of war: and theyhavelaidtheirswordsundertheirheads, but theiriniquitiesshall be upontheirbones, thoughtheywere the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.
There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, whichwiththeirmight are laid by themthatwereslain by the sword: theyshall lie with the uncircumcised, and withthemthat go down to the pit.
There be the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gonedownwith the slain; withtheirterrorthey are ashamed of theirmight; and they lie uncircumcisedwiththemthat be slain by the sword, and beartheirshamewiththemthat go down to the pit.
