Ezekiel 31

  1 H259 H6240 And it came to pass in the eleventh H8141 year, H7992 in the third H259 month, in the first H2320 day of the month, H1697 that the word H3068 of the LORD H559 [H8800] came to me, saying,

  2 H1121 Son H120 of man, H559 [H8798] speak H6547 to Pharaoh H4428 king H4714 of Egypt, H1995 and to his multitude; H1819 [H8804] Whom art thou like H1433 in thy greatness?

  3 H804 Behold, the Assyrian H730 was a cedar H3844 in Lebanon H3303 with fair H6057 branches, H6751 [H8688] and with a shady H2793 cover, H1362 and of an high H6967 stature; H6788 and his top H5688 was among the thick boughs.

  4 H4325 The waters H1431 [H8765] made him great, H8415 the deep H7311 [H8790] set him up on high H5104 with her rivers H1980 [H8802] running H5439 around H4302 his plants, H7971 [H8765] and sent out H8585 her little rivers H6086 to all the trees H7704 of the field.

  5 H6967 Therefore his height H1361 [H8804] was exalted H6086 above all the trees H7704 of the field, H5634 and his boughs H7235 [H8799] were multiplied, H6288 and his branches H748 [H8799] became long H7227 because of the multitude H4325 of waters, H7971 [H8763] when he shot forth.

  6 H5775 All the fowls H8064 of heaven H7077 [H8765] made their nests H5589 in his boughs, H6288 and under his branches H2416 did all the beasts H7704 of the field H3205 [H8804] bring forth their young, H6738 and under his shadow H3427 [H8799] dwelt H7227 all great H1471 nations.

  7 H3302 [H8799] Thus was he fair H1433 in his greatness, H753 in the length H1808 of his branches: H8328 for his root H7227 was by great H4325 waters.

  8 H730 The cedars H1588 in the garden H430 of God H6004 [H8804] could not hide H1265 him: the fir trees H1819 [H8804] were not like H5589 his boughs, H6196 and the chesnut trees H6288 were not like his branches; H6086 not any tree H1588 in the garden H430 of God H1819 [H8804] was like H3308 him in his beauty.

  9 H6213 [H8804] I have made H3303 him fair H7230 by the abundance H1808 of his branches: H6086 so that all the trees H5731 of Eden, H1588 that were in the garden H430 of God, H7065 [H8762] envied him.

  10 H559 [H8804] Therefore thus saith H136 the Sovereign H3069 LORD; H1361 [H8804] Because thou hast lifted up H6967 thyself in height, H5414 [H8799] and he hath shot up H6788 his top H5688 among the thick boughs, H3824 and his heart H7311 [H8804] is lifted up H1363 in his height;

  11 H5414 [H8799] I have therefore given H3027 him into the hand H410 of the mighty one H1471 of the nations; H6213 [H8800] he shall surely H6213 [H8799] deal H1644 [H8765] with him: I have driven him out H7562 for his wickedness.

  12 H2114 [H8801] And strangers, H6184 the terrible H1471 of the nations, H3772 [H8799] have cut him off, H5203 [H8799] and have left H2022 him: upon the mountains H1516 and in all the valleys H1808 his branches H5307 [H8804] are fallen, H6288 and his boughs H7665 [H8735] are broken H650 by all the rivers H776 of the land; H5971 and all the people H776 of the earth H3381 [H8799] have gone down H6738 from his shadow, H5203 [H8799] and have left him.

  13 H4658 Upon his ruin H5775 shall all the fowls H8064 of the heaven H7931 [H8799] remain, H2416 and all the beasts H7704 of the field H6288 shall be upon his branches:

  14 H6086 To the end that none of all the trees H4325 by the waters H1361 [H8799] exalt H6967 themselves for their height, H5414 [H8799] neither shoot up H6788 their top H5688 among the thick boughs, H352 neither their trees H5975 [H8799] stand up H1363 in their height, H8354 [H8802] all that drink H4325 water: H5414 [H8738] for they are all given H4194 to death, H8482 to the lower parts H776 of the earth, H8432 in the midst H1121 of the sons H120 of men, H3381 [H8802] with them that go down H953 to the hole.

  15 H559 [H8804] Thus saith H136 the Sovereign H3069 LORD; H3117 In the day H3381 [H8800] when he went down H7585 to the grave H56 [H8689] I caused a mourning: H3680 [H8765] I covered H8415 the deep H4513 [H8799] for him, and I restrained H5104 its floods, H7227 and the great H4325 waters H3607 [H8735] were stayed: H3844 and I caused Lebanon H6937 [H8686] to mourn H6086 for him, and all the trees H7704 of the field H5969 fainted for him.

  16 H1471 I made the nations H7493 [H8689] to shake H6963 at the sound H4658 of his fall, H3381 [H8687] when I cast him down H7585 to the grave H3381 [H8802] with them that descend H953 into the hole: H6086 and all the trees H5731 of Eden, H4005 the choice H2896 and best H3844 of Lebanon, H8354 [H8802] all that drink H4325 water, H5162 [H8735] shall be comforted H8482 in the lower parts H776 of the earth.

  17 H3381 [H8804] They also went down H7585 into the grave H2491 with him to them that are slain H2719 with the sword; H2220 and they that were his arm, H3427 [H8804] that dwelt H6738 under his shadow H8432 in the midst H1471 of the nations.

  18 H1819 [H8804] To whom art thou thus like H3519 in glory H1433 and in greatness H6086 among the trees H5731 of Eden? H3381 [H8717] yet shalt thou be brought down H6086 with the trees H5731 of Eden H8482 to the lower parts H776 of the earth: H7901 [H8799] thou shalt lie H8432 in the midst H6189 of the uncircumcised H2491 with them that are slain H2719 by the sword. H6547 This is Pharaoh H1995 and all his multitude, H5002 [H8803] saith H136 the Sovereign H3069 LORD.
