1 et factum est duodecimo anno in mense duodecimo in una mensis
factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
2 fili hominis adsume lamentum super Pharao regem Aegypti
et dices ad eum
leoni gentium adsimilatus es et draconi qui est in mari
et ventilabas cornu in fluminibus tuis
et conturbabas aquas pedibus tuis
et conculcabas flumina eorum
3 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus
expandam super te rete meum
in multitudine populorum multorum
et extrahent te in sagena mea
4 et proiciam te in terram super faciem agri abiciam te
et habitare faciam super te omnia volatilia caeli
et saturabo de te bestias universae terrae
5 et dabo carnes tuas super montes et implebo colles tuos sanie tua
6 et inrigabo terram pedore sanguinis tui super montes
et valles implebuntur ex te
7 et operiam cum extinctus fueris caelos
et nigrescere faciam stellas eius
solem nube tegam et luna non dabit lumen suum
8 omnia luminaria caeli maerere faciam super te
et dabo tenebras super terram tuam dicit Dominus Deus
9 et inritabo cor populorum multorum
cum induxero contritionem tuam in gentibus super terras quas nescis
10 et stupescere faciam super te populos multos
et reges eorum horrore nimio formidabunt super te
cum volare coeperit gladius meus super facies eorum
et obstupescent repente singuli pro anima sua in die ruinae suae
11 quia haec dicit Dominus Deus
gladius regis Babylonis veniet tibi
12 in gladiis fortium deiciam multitudinem tuam
inexpugnabiles gentes omnes heae
et vastabunt superbiam Aegypti et dissipabitur multitudo eius
13 et perdam omnia iumenta eius quae erant super aquas plurimas
et non conturbabit eas pes hominis ultra
neque ungula iumentorum turbabit eas
14 tunc purissimas reddam aquas eorum
et flumina eorum quasi oleum adducam ait Dominus Deus
15 cum dedero terram Aegypti desolatam
deseretur autem terra a plenitudine sua
quando percussero omnes habitatores eius
et scient quia ego Dominus
16 planctus est et plangent eum filiae gentium plangent eum
super Aegypto et super multitudine eius
plangent eum
ait Dominus Deus
17 et factum est in duodecimo anno in quintadecima mensis
factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
18 fili hominis cane lugubre super multitudine Aegypti
et detrahe eam
ipsam et filias gentium robustarum ad terram ultimam
cum his qui descendunt in lacum
19 quo pulchrior es descende et dormi cum incircumcisis
20 in medio interfectorum gladio cadent
gladius datus est adtraxerunt eam et omnes populos eius
21 loquentur ei potentissimi robustorum de medio inferni
qui cum auxiliatoribus eius descenderunt
et dormierunt incircumcisi interfecti gladio
22 ibi Assur et omnis multitudo eius in circuitu illius sepulchra eius
omnes interfecti et qui ceciderunt gladio
23 quorum data sunt sepulchra in novissimis laci
et facta est multitudo eius per gyrum sepulchri eius
universi interfecti cadentesque gladio
qui dederant quondam formidinem in terra viventium
24 ibi Aelam et omnis multitudo eius per gyrum sepulchri sui
omnes hi interfecti ruentesque gladio
qui descenderunt incircumcisi ad terram ultimam
qui posuerunt terrorem suum in terra viventium
et portaverunt ignominiam suam cum his qui descendunt in lacum
25 in medio interfectorum posuerunt cubile eius
in universis populis eius
in circuitu eius sepulchrum illius
omnes hi incircumcisi interfectique gladio
dederant enim terrorem in terra viventium
et portaverunt ignominiam suam cum his qui descendunt in lacum
in medio interfectorum positi sunt
26 ibi Mosoch et Thubal et omnis multitudo eius
in circuitu illius sepulchra eius
omnes hi incircumcisi interfectique et cadentes gladio
quia dederunt formidinem suam in terra viventium
27 et non dormient cum fortibus cadentibusque et incircumcisis
qui descenderunt ad infernum cum armis suis
et posuerunt gladios suos sub capitibus suis
et fuerunt iniquitates eorum in ossibus eorum
quia terror fortium facti sunt in terra viventium
28 et tu ergo in medio incircumcisorum contereris
et dormies cum interfectis gladio
29 ibi Idumea et reges eius
omnes duces eius qui dati sunt cum exercitu suo
cum interfectis gladio
et qui cum incircumcisis dormierunt
et cum his qui descenderunt in lacum
30 ibi principes aquilonis omnes et universi venatores
qui deducti sunt cum interfectis
paventes et in sua fortitudine confusi
qui dormierunt incircumcisi cum interfectis gladio
et portaverunt confusionem suam cum his qui descendunt in lacum
31 vidit eos Pharao et consolatus est
super universa multitudine sua quae interfecta est gladio
Pharao et omnis exercitus eius ait Dominus Deus
32 quia dedi terrorem meum in terra viventium
et dormivit in medio incircumcisorum cum interfectis gladio
Pharao et omnis multitudo eius ait Dominus Deus
1 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers. 3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net. 4 Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee. 5 And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height. 6 I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee. 7 And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light. 8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD. 9 I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known. 10 Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, 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 thy fall.
11 ¶ For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee. 12 By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall spoil the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed. 13 I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them. 14 Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD. 15 When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall be destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am the LORD. 16 This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
17 ¶ It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 18 Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit. 19 Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised. 20 They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes. 21 The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword. 22 Asshur is there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword: 23 Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living. 24 There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit. 25 They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain. 26 There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living. 27 And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. 28 Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword. 29 There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by them that were slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit. 30 There be the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit. 31 Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord GOD. 32 For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
