24:1 Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the
 month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
24:2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: 
 the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.
24:3 And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus
 saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:
24:4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh,
 and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
24:5 Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and
 make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.
24:6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot
 whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it!  bring it
 out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.
24:7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a
 rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;
24:8 That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her
 blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.
24:9 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city!  I will even
 make the pile for fire great.
24:10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well,
 and let the bones be burned.
24:11 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be
 hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it,
 that the scum of it may be consumed.
24:12 She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not
 forth out of her:  her scum shall be in the fire.
24:13 In thy filthiness is lewdness:  because I have purged thee, and thou
 wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more,
 till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.
24:14 I the LORD have spoken it:  it shall come to pass, and I will do
 it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent;
 according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee,
 saith the Lord GOD.
24:15 Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
24:16 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes
 with a stroke:  yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy
 tears run down.
24:17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine
 head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy
 lips, and eat not the bread of men.
24:18 So I spake unto the people in the morning:  and at even my wife died;
 and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
24:19 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things
 are to us, that thou doest so?
24:20 Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
24:21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I
 will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of
 your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your
 daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.
24:22 And ye shall do as I have done:  ye shall not cover your lips, nor
 eat the bread of men.
24:23 And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your
 feet:  ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your
 iniquities, and mourn one toward another.
24:24 Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign:  according to all that he hath done
 shall ye do:  and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
24:25 Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from
 them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and
 that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,
24:26 That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause
 thee to hear it with thine ears?
24:27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and
 thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb:  and thou shalt be a sign unto them;
 and they shall know that I am the LORD.

25:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
25:2 Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against
 them;
25:3 And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith
 the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was
 profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against
 the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;
25:4 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east for a
 possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their
 dwellings in thee:  they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy
 milk.
25:5 And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a
 couchingplace for flocks:  and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
25:6 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thine hands,
 and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite
 against the land of Israel;
25:7 Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will
 deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the
 people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries:  I will
 destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
25:8 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the
 house of Judah is like unto all the heathen;
25:9 Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from
 his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country,
 Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,
25:10 Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in
 possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.
25:11 And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I
 am the LORD.
25:12 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the
 house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged
 himself upon them;
25:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand
 upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it
 desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.
25:14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel:
  and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my
 fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.
25:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by
 revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it
 for the old hatred;
25:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine
 hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy
 the remnant of the sea coast.
25:17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and
 they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon
 them.

26:1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the
 month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
26:2 Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is
 broken that was the gates of the people:  she is turned unto me:  I shall
 be replenished, now she is laid waste:
26:3 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O
 Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea
 causeth his waves to come up.
26:4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: 
 I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.
26:5 It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the
 sea:  for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD:  and it shall become a
 spoil to the nations.
26:6 And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword;
 and they shall know that I am the LORD.
26:7 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus
 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with
 horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much
 people.
26:8 He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field:  and he shall
 make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the
 buckler against thee.
26:9 And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he
 shall break down thy towers.
26:10 By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: 
 thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and
 of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a
 city wherein is made a breach.
26:11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets:  he
 shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down
 to the ground.
26:12 And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy
 merchandise:  and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant
 houses:  and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the
 midst of the water.
26:13 And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy
 harps shall be no more heard.
26:14 And I will make thee like the top of a rock:  thou shalt be a place
 to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more:  for I the LORD have
 spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
26:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the
 sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the
 midst of thee?
26:16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones,
 and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments:  they shall
 clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall
 tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee.
26:17 And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How
 art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned
 city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause
 their terror to be on all that haunt it!
26:18 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles
 that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.
26:19 For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a desolate city,
 like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon
 thee, and great waters shall cover thee;
26:20 When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with
 the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth,
 in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be
 not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;
26:21 I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more:  though thou
 be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.

27:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
27:2 Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;
27:3 And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea,
 which art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord
 GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty.
27:4 Thy borders are in the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected
 thy beauty.
27:5 They have made all thy ship boards of fir trees of Senir:  they have
 taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.
27:6 Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the company of the
 Ashurites have made thy benches of ivory, brought out of the isles of
 Chittim.
27:7 Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest
 forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that
 which covered thee.
27:8 The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners:  thy wise men,
 O Tyrus, that were in thee, were thy pilots.
27:9 The ancients of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee thy
 calkers:  all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to
 occupy thy merchandise.
27:10 They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thine army, thy men of
 war:  they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy
 comeliness.
27:11 The men of Arvad with thine army were upon thy walls round about,
 and the Gammadims were in thy towers:  they hanged their shields upon thy
 walls round about; they have made thy beauty perfect.
27:12 Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind
 of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs.
27:13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy merchants:  they traded the
 persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market.
27:14 They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and
 horsemen and mules.
27:15 The men of Dedan were thy merchants; many isles were the
 merchandise of thine hand:  they brought thee for a present horns of
 ivory and ebony.
27:16 Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of
 thy making:  they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and
 broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate.
27:17 Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants:  they traded
 in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm.
27:18 Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy
 making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white
 wool.
27:19 Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs:  bright
 iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market.
27:20 Dedan was thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots.
27:21 Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with thee in
 lambs, and rams, and goats:  in these were they thy merchants.
27:22 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy merchants:  they
 occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices, and with all precious
 stones, and gold.
27:23 Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and
 Chilmad, were thy merchants.
27:24 These were thy merchants in all sorts of things, in blue clothes,
 and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords, and
 made of cedar, among thy merchandise.
27:25 The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market:  and thou wast
 replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.
27:26 Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters:  the east wind hath
 broken thee in the midst of the seas.
27:27 Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy
 pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy men
 of war, that are in thee, and in all thy company which is in the midst
 of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin.
27:28 The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.
27:29 And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the
 sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land;
27:30 And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry
 bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow
 themselves in the ashes:
27:31 And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them
 with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and
 bitter wailing.
27:32 And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and
 lament over thee, saying, What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed
 in the midst of the sea?
27:33 When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people;
 thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches
 and of thy merchandise.
27:34 In the time when thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of
 the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall
 fall.
27:35 All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and
 their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their
 countenance.
27:36 The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a
 terror, and never shalt be any more.

28:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
 Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit
 in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and
 not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
28:3 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can
 hide from thee:
28:4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee
 riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
28:5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffic hast thou increased thy
 riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
28:6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as
 the heart of God;
28:7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the
 nations:  and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy
 wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
28:8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of
 them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
28:9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God?  but thou
 shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
28:10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of
 strangers:  for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
28:11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto
 him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and
 perfect in beauty.
28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was
 thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and
 the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold:  the
 workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day
 that thou wast created.
28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee
 so:  thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and
 down in the midst of the stones of fire.
28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created,
 till iniquity was found in thee.
28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee
 with violence, and thou hast sinned:  therefore I will cast thee as profane
 out of the mountain of God:  and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub,
 from the midst of the stones of fire.
28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted
 thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness:  I will cast thee to the ground, I
 will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine
 iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a
 fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to
 ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: 
 thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
28:20 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
28:21 Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,
28:22 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O
 Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee:  and they shall know
 that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and
 shall be sanctified in her.
28:23 For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and
 the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on
 every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
28:24 And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel,
 nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised
 them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
28:25 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of
 Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be
 sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in
 their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.
28:26 And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant
 vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed
 judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall
 know that I am the LORD their God.

29:1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the
 month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
29:2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy
 against him, and against all Egypt:
29:3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee,
 Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his
 rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for
 myself.
29:4 But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy
 rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst
 of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.
29:5 And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the
 fish of thy rivers:  thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not
 be brought together, nor gathered:  I have given thee for meat to the
 beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.
29:6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD,
 because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
29:7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all
 their shoulder:  and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest
 all their loins to be at a stand.
29:8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon
 thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.
29:9 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know
 that I am the LORD:  because he hath said, The river is mine, and I
 have made it.
29:10 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I
 will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of
 Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.
29:11 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass
 through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
29:12 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the
 countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are
 laid waste shall be desolate forty years:  and I will scatter the Egyptians
 among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
29:13 Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather
 the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:
29:14 And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to
 return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and
 they shall be there a base kingdom.
29:15 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself
 any more above the nations:  for I will diminish them, that they shall no
 more rule over the nations.
29:16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which
 bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: 
 but they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
29:17 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first
 month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto
 me, saying,
29:18 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a
 great service against Tyrus:  every head was made bald, and every
 shoulder was peeled:  yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for
 the service that he had served against it:
29:19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of
 Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude,
 and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his
 army.
29:20 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he
 served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.
29:21 In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth,
 and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and
 they shall know that I am the LORD.

30:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
30:2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe
 worth the day!
30:3 For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy
 day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
30:4 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in
 Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her
 multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
30:5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub,
 and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the
 sword.
30:6 Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the
 pride of her power shall come down:  from the tower of Syene shall they
 fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.
30:7 And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are
 desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are
 wasted.
30:8 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in
 Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.
30:9 In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the
 careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the
 day of Egypt:  for, lo, it cometh.
30:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to
 cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
30:11 He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be
 brought to destroy the land:  and they shall draw their swords against
 Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
30:12 And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the
 wicked:  and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the
 hand of strangers:  I the LORD have spoken it.
30:13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will
 cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a
 prince of the land of Egypt:  and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
30:14 And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will
 execute judgments in No.
30:15 And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will
 cut off the multitude of No.
30:16 And I will set fire in Egypt:  Sin shall have great pain, and No shall
 be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily.
30:17 The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword:  and
 these cities shall go into captivity.
30:18 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break
 there the yokes of Egypt:  and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her:
  as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into
 captivity.
30:19 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt:  and they shall know that I
 am the LORD.
30:20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the
 seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me,
 saying,
30:21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo,
 it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make
 it strong to hold the sword.
30:22 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king
 of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken;
 and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
30:23 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse
 them through the countries.
30:24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my
 sword in his hand:  but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan
 before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.
30:25 But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of
 Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I
 shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall
 stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
30:26 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them
 among the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Ezekiel  |  Top  | Up  |  Down
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,
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 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 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 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 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 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches:  for
 his root was by great waters.
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.
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.
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;
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 the Lord GOD.
