Ezekiel

Chapter 32

1 And it came to pass in the twelfth year,
in the twelfth month,
in the first day of the month,
that the word/'doctrinal communication' {dabar} of Jehovah/God
came unto me, saying, 2
"Son of man,
take up a lamentation for Pharaoh, king of Egypt,
and say unto him,
'You are like a young lion of the nations,
and you are as a whale in the seas.

And you came forth with your rivers,
and troubled the waters with your feet,
and fouled their rivers.' "

3 Thus said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah,
"I will therefore spread out My net over you
with a company of many people
and they shall bring you up in my net. 4

Then will I leave you upon the land,
I will cast you forth upon the open field,
and will cause all the fowls of the heaven
to remain upon you,
and I will fill the animals/beasts of the whole earth with you. 5

And I will lay your flesh upon the mountains,
and fill the valleys with your height. 6

I will also water with your blood
the land wherein you swim,
even to the mountains . . .
and the rivers shall be full of you all."

{2nd Advent of Christ verse - see Revelation 1:7}
7~~ "And when I shall destroy you,
I will cover the heaven,
and supernaturally darken their stars.

I will cover the sun with a cloud,
and the moon shall not give its light. 8~~

All the shining lights of heaven,
I will darken over you
and set darkness upon your land,"
declares the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah.

9 "I will also vex the hearts of many people,
when I shall bring your destruction among the nations,
into the countries which you have not known. 10

Yes, I will make many people amazed at you all,
and their kings shall be horribly afraid for you all,
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."

11 For thus said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah,
"The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon you all. 12

By the swords of the mighty
I will cause your 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 animals/beasts thereof
from beside the great waters.

Neither shall the foot of man
trouble them any more,
nor the hoofs of animals/beasts trouble them. 14

Then will I make their waters deep,
and cause their rivers to run like oil,"
said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah.

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 those who dwell therein,
then shall they know that I am Jehovah/God. 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,"
said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah.

17 It came to pass also in the twelfth year,
in the fifteenth day of the month,
that the word/'doctrinal communication' {dabar} of Jehovah/God
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 those who go down into the pit. 19

Whom do you pass in beauty?

Go down, and be you laid with the uncircumcised. 20

They shall fall in the midst of those
who 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 the grave/Sheol
with those who help him.

They are gone down,
they lie uncircumcised,
slain by the sword. 22

Asshur is there and all her company.

His graves/'burial sites' {q@buwrah}
are about him.

All of them slain, fallen by the sword . . . 23
whose sepulchers/tombs {qeber}
are set in the sides of the pit,
and her company is round about her 'burial sites' {q@buwrah}.

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 'burial sites' {q@buwrah},
all of them slain,
fallen by the sword,
which are gone down uncircumcised
into the nether/lowest parts of the earth,
which caused their terror
in the land of the living.

Yet have they borne their shame
with those who go down to the pit. 25

They have set her a bed
in the midst of the slain
with all her multitude.

Her sepulchers/tombs {qeber}
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 those who go down to the pit.

He is put in the midst of those who be slain. 26

There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude.

Her sepulchers/tombs {qeber}
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 the grave/Sheol
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

Yes, you shall be broken
in the midst of the uncircumcised,
and shall lie with those who are slain with the sword. 29

There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes,
which with their might are laid by those who were slain by the sword.

They shall lie with the uncircumcised,
and with those who go down to the pit. 30

There be the princes of the north, all of them,
and all the Zidonians,
who are gone down with the slain.

With their terror they are ashamed of their might
and they lie uncircumcised . . .
with those who be slain by the sword,
and bear their shame
with those who 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,"
said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah.

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 those who are slain with the sword,
even Pharaoh and all his multitude,"
said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah.
