Ezekiel 32
- 1In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
- 2Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him, You are like a young lion of the nations, and you are as a whale in the seas: and you came out with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and fouled their rivers.
- 3The Lord God says this. I will therefore spread out my net over you with a company of many people. And they shall bring you up in my net.
- 4Then I will leave you on the land, I will cast you out on the open field, and will cause all the birds of the heaven to remain on you, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with you.
- 5And I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.
- 6I will also water with your blood the land in which you swim, even to the mountains. And the rivers shall be full of you.
- 7And when I shall put you out, I will cover the heaven, and make its stars dark. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
- 8All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over you, and set darkness on your land, says the Lord God.
- 9I will also trouble the hearts of many people, when I shall bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.
- 10Yes, I will make many people 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.
- 11For the Lord God says this. The sword of the king of Babylon shall come on you.
- 12By the swords of the mighty will I cause your army to fall, the most ruthless of the nations, all of them: and they shall plunder the pomp of Egypt, and all its crowd shall be destroyed.
- 13I will destroy also all its beasts from beside the great waters. Neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, or the hoofs of beasts trouble them.
- 14Then I will make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, says the Lord God.
- 15When I shall make the land of Egypt a ruin, and the country shall be destitute of that of which it was full, when I shall strike all those who live in it, then they shall know that I am the Lord.
- 16This is the lamentation with which they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her people, says the Lord God.
- 17Also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
- 18Son of man, wail for the great number 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.
- 19Who are you more beautiful than? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.

- 21The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the middle of hell with those who help him: they have gone down, they lie uncircumcised, killed by the sword.
- 22Asshur is there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of them killed, fallen by the sword:
- 23Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is all around her grave: all of them killed, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living.
- 24There is Elam and all her people all around her grave, all of them killed, fallen by the sword, which have gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living. Yet they have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit.
- 25They have set her a bed in the middle of the killed with all her people: her graves are all around him: all of them uncircumcised, killed by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet they have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit: he is put in the middle of those who be killed.
- 26There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her people: her graves are all around him: all of them uncircumcised, killed by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.
- 27And they shall not lie with the mighty that have fallen of the uncircumcised, which have gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their wrongdoings shall be on their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.
- 28Yes, you shall be broken in the middle of the uncircumcised, and shall lie with those who are killed with the sword.
- 29There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by those who were killed by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with those who go down to the pit.
- 30There be the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which have gone down with the killed. With their terror they are ashamed of their might. And they lie uncircumcised with those who be killed by the sword, and bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.
- 31Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his army, even Pharaoh and all his army killed by the sword, says the Lord God.
- 32For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the middle of the uncircumcised with those who are killed with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his army, says the Lord God.
