WEB·Ezekiel 32
1In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
KJVAnd it came to pass in the twelfthH8147H6240 yearH8141, in the twelfth monthH2320, in the firstH259 day of the monthH2320, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559(H8800),
2 “Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and tell him, ‘You were likened to a young lion of the nations; yet you are as a monster in the seas. You broke out with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and fouled their rivers.’”
KJVSonH1121 of manH120, take upH5375(H8798) a lamentationH7015 for PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and sayH559(H8804) unto him, Thou art likeH1819(H8738) a young lionH3715 of the nationsH1471, and thou art as a whaleH8577(H8676)H8565 in the seasH3220: and thou camest forthH1518(H8799) with thy riversH5104, and troubledstH1804(H8799) the watersH4325 with thy feetH7272, and fouledstH7515(H8799) their riversH5104.
3 The Lord Yahweh says: “I will spread out my net on you with a company of many peoples. They will bring you up in my net.
KJVThus saithH559(H8804) the LordH136 GODH3069; I will therefore spread outH6566(H8804) my netH7568 over thee with a companyH6951 of manyH7227 peopleH5971; and they shall bring thee upH5927(H8689) in my netH2764.
4 I will leave you on the land. I will cast you out on the open field, and will cause all the birds of the sky to settle on you. I will satisfy the animals of the whole earth with you.
KJVThen will I leaveH5203(H8804) thee upon the landH776, I will cast thee forthH2904(H8686) upon the openH6440 fieldH7704, and will cause all the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064 to remainH7931(H8689) upon thee, and I will fillH7646(H8689) the beastsH2416 of the whole earthH776 with thee.
5 I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.
KJVAnd I will layH5414(H8804) thy fleshH1320 upon the mountainsH2022, and fillH4390(H8765) the valleysH1516 with thy heightH7419.
6 I will also water the land in which you swim with your blood, even to the mountains. The watercourses will be full of you.
KJVI will also waterH8248(H8689) with thy bloodH1818 the landH776 wherein thou swimmestH6824, even to the mountainsH2022; and the riversH650 shall be fullH4390(H8735) of thee.
7 When I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and make its stars dark. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon won’t give its light.
KJVAnd when I shall put thee outH3518(H8763), I will coverH3680(H8765) the heavenH8064, and makeH6937 the starsH3556 thereof darkH6937(H8689); I will coverH3680(H8762) the sunH8121 with a cloudH6051, and the moonH3394 shall not giveH215(H8686) her lightH216.
8 I will make all the bright lights of the sky dark over you, and set darkness on your land,” says the Lord Yahweh.
KJVAll the brightH3974 lightsH216 of heavenH8064 will I make darkH6937(H8686) over thee, and setH5414(H8804) darknessH2822 upon thy landH776, saithH5002(H8803) the LordH136 GODH3069.
9 “I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.
KJVI will also vexH3707(H8689) the heartsH3820 of manyH7227 peopleH5971, when I shall bringH935(H8687) thy destructionH7667 among the nationsH1471, into the countriesH776 which thou hast not knownH3045(H8804).
10 Yes, I will make many peoples amazed at you, and their kings will be horribly afraid for you, when I brandish my sword before them. They will tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.”
KJVYea, I will make manyH7227 peopleH5971 amazedH8074(H8689) at thee, and their kingsH4428 shall be horriblyH8178 afraidH8175(H8799) for thee, when I shall brandishH5774(H8788) my swordH2719 before themH6440; and they shall trembleH2729(H8804) at every momentH7281, every manH376 for his own lifeH5315, in the dayH3117 of thy fallH4658.
11 For the Lord Yahweh says: “The sword of the king of Babylon will come on you.
KJVFor thus saithH559(H8804) the LordH136 GODH3069; The swordH2719 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 shall comeH935(H8799) upon thee.
12 I will cause your multitude to fall by the swords of the mighty. They are all the ruthless of the nations. They will bring the pride of Egypt to nothing, and all its multitude will be destroyed.
KJVBy the swordsH2719 of the mightyH1368 will I cause thy multitudeH1995 to fallH5307(H8686), the terribleH6184 of the nationsH1471, all of them: and they shall spoilH7703(H8804) the pompH1347 of EgyptH4714, and all the multitudeH1995 thereof shall be destroyedH8045(H8738).
13 I will destroy also all its animals from beside many waters. The foot of man won’t trouble them any more, nor will the hoofs of animals trouble them.
KJVI will destroyH6(H8689) also all the beastsH929 thereof fromH5921 beside the greatH7227 watersH4325; neither shall the footH7272 of manH120 troubleH1804(H8799) them any more, nor the hoofsH6541 of beastsH929 troubleH1804(H8799) them.
14 Then I will make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil,” says the Lord Yahweh.
KJVThen will I make their watersH4325 deepH8257(H8686), and cause their riversH5104 to runH3212(H8686) like oilH8081, saithH5002(H8803) the LordH136 GODH3069.
15 “When I make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that of which it was full, when I strike all those who dwell therein, then they will know that I am Yahweh.
KJVWhen I shall makeH5414(H8800) the landH776 of EgyptH4714 desolateH8077, and the countryH776 shall be destituteH8074(H8737) of that whereof it was fullH4393, when I shall smiteH5221(H8687) all them that dwellH3427(H8802) therein, then shall they knowH3045(H8804) that I am the LORDH3068.
16 “‘“This is the lamentation with which they will lament. The daughters of the nations will lament with this. They will lament with it over Egypt, and over all her multitude,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”
KJVThis is the lamentationH7015 wherewith they shall lamentH6969(H8790) her: the daughtersH1323 of the nationsH1471 shall lamentH6969(H8787) her: they shall lamentH6969(H8787) for her, even for EgyptH4714, and for all her multitudeH1995, saithH5002(H8803) the LordH136 GODH3069.
17 Also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
KJVIt came to pass also in the twelfthH8147H6240 yearH8141, in the fifteenthH2568H6240 day of the monthH2320, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559(H8800),
18 “Son of man, wail for the multitude 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.
KJVSonH1121 of manH120, wailH5091(H8798) for the multitudeH1995 of EgyptH4714, and cast them downH3381(H8685), even her, and the daughtersH1323 of the famousH117 nationsH1471, unto the nether partsH8482 of the earthH776, with them that go downH3381(H8802) into the pitH953.
19 Whom do you pass in beauty? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.
KJVWhom dost thou pass in beautyH5276(H8804)? go downH3381(H8798), and be thou laidH7901(H8713) with the uncircumcisedH6189.
20 They will fall among those who are slain by the sword. She is delivered to the sword. Draw her away with all her multitudes.
KJVThey shall fallH5307(H8799) in the midstH8432 of them that are slainH2491 by the swordH2719: she is deliveredH5414(H8738) to the swordH2719: drawH4900(H8798) her and all her multitudesH1995.
21 The strong among the mighty will speak to him out of the middle of Sheol with those who help him. They have gone down. The uncircumcised lie still, slain by the sword.
KJVThe strongH410 among the mightyH1368 shall speakH1696(H8762) to him out of the midstH8432 of hellH7585 with them that helpH5826(H8802) him: they are gone downH3381(H8804), they lieH7901(H8804) uncircumcisedH6189, slainH2491 by the swordH2719.
22 “Asshur is there with all her company. Her graves are all around her. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword,
KJVAsshurH804 is there and all her companyH6951: his gravesH6913 are aboutH5439 him: all of them slainH2491, fallenH5307(H8802) by the swordH2719:
23 whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit, and her company is around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who caused terror in the land of the living.
KJVWhose gravesH6913 are setH5414(H8738) in the sidesH3411 of the pitH953, and her companyH6951 is round aboutH5439 her graveH6900: all of them slainH2491, fallenH5307(H8802) by the swordH2719, which causedH5414(H8804) terrorH2851 in the landH776 of the livingH2416.
24 “There is Elam and all her multitude around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who have gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit.
KJVThere is ElamH5867 and all her multitudeH1995 round aboutH5439 her graveH6900, all of them slainH2491, fallenH5307(H8802) by the swordH2719, which are gone downH3381(H8804) uncircumcisedH6189 into the nether partsH8482 of the earthH776, which causedH5414(H8804) their terrorH2851 in the landH776 of the livingH2416; yet have they borneH5375(H8799) their shameH3639 with them that go downH3381(H8802) to the pitH953.
25 They have made Elam a bed among the slain with all her multitude.

He is put among those who are slain.
KJVThey have setH5414(H8804) her a bedH4904 in the midstH8432 of the slainH2491 with all her multitudeH1995: her gravesH6913 are round aboutH5439 him: all of them uncircumcisedH6189, slainH2491 by the swordH2719: though their terrorH2851 was causedH5414(H8737) in the landH776 of the livingH2416, yet have they borneH5375(H8799) their shameH3639 with them that go downH3381(H8802) to the pitH953: he is putH5414(H8738) in the midstH8432 of them that be slainH2491.

27 They will not lie with the mighty who are fallen of the uncircumcised, who have gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war and have laid their swords under their heads. Their iniquities are on their bones; for they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.
KJVAnd they shall not lieH7901(H8799) with the mightyH1368 that are fallenH5307(H8802) of the uncircumcisedH6189, which are gone downH3381(H8804) to hellH7585 with their weaponsH3627 of warH4421: and they have laidH5414(H8799) their swordsH2719 under their headsH7218, but their iniquitiesH5771 shall be upon their bonesH6106, though they were the terrorH2851 of the mightyH1368 in the landH776 of the livingH2416.
