1 On the first day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year of our captivity, a message came to me from the LORD, who had this to say: In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me: In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month on the first day, the word of the LORD came to me:
2 |Son of Man, start singing this lamentation about Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Tell him, 'You may have called yourself a lion among nations, but you're a monster at sea. You thrash about in your rivers, muddy the water with your feet, and relieve yourself in the rivers.' “Son of man, raise a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him: “You consider yourself a lion of the nations, but you are like a dragon in the seas; you burst forth in your rivers, trouble the waters with your feet, and foul their rivers. “Son of man, take up a lament concerning Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him: “’You are like a lion among the nations; you are like a monster in the seas thrashing about in your streams, churning the water with your feet and muddying the streams.
3 |This is what the Lord GOD says: 'I'm coming fishing for you! Right in the sight of many nations they'll haul you up in my dragnet. Thus says the Lord GOD: I will throw my net over you with a host of many peoples, and they will haul you up in my dragnet. “’This is what the Sovereign LORD says: “’With a great throng of people I will cast my net over you, and they will haul you up in my net.
4 I'll fling you up onto the land; I'll haul you into the field, I'll make every carrion-eating bird come to dine on you, and I'll make all the scavenging animals gorge themselves on you. And I will cast you on the ground; on the open field I will fling you, and will cause all the birds of the heavens to settle on you, and I will gorge the beasts of the whole earth with you. I will throw you on the land and hurl you on the open field. I will let all the birds of the sky settle on you and all the animals of the wild gorge themselves on you.
5 I'll cover the mountains with your flesh and fill their valleys with your rotting carcass. I will strew your flesh upon the mountains and fill the valleys with your carcass. I will spread your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains.
6 I'll drench the land with your blood, right up to the mountains, and the ravines will overflow with blood that comes from you! I will drench the land even to the mountains with your flowing blood, and the ravines will be full of you. I will drench the land with your flowing blood all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
7 When I extinguish your lights, I'll cover the heavens and darken their stars. I'll cover the sun with a cloud and the moon won't reflect its light. When I blot you out, I will cover the heavens and make their stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give its light. When I snuff you out, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.
8 I'll darken the bright lights in the sky above you and bring darkness to your territory,' declares the Lord GOD. All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over you, and put darkness on your land, declares the Lord GOD. All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you; I will bring darkness over your land, declares the Sovereign LORD.
9 |'I'll bring distress to the hearts of many nations when I destroy you among nations whose territories you have not known. “I will trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries that you have not known. I will trouble the hearts of many peoples when I bring about your destruction among the nations, among lands you have not known.
10 I'll make many nations be appalled at you, and their kings will be terrified because of you when I brandish my sword right in their face. They will all tremble from fear for their own safety on the day that you fall!' I will make many peoples appalled at you, and the hair of their kings shall bristle with horror because of you, when I brandish my sword before them. They shall tremble every moment, every one for his own life, on the day of your downfall. I will cause many peoples to be appalled at you, and their kings will shudder with horror because of you when I brandish my sword before them. On the day of your downfall each of them will tremble every moment for his life.
11 |This is what the Lord GOD says: 'The army of the king of Babylon will attack you. “For thus says the Lord GOD: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon you. “’For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: “’The sword of the king of Babylon will come against you.
12 I'm going to make your gangs die using the weapons of valiant warriors, all of whom are ruthless people. 'They will devastate the majesty of Egypt, destroying all of its hordes. I will cause your multitude to fall by the swords of mighty ones, all of them most ruthless of nations. “They shall bring to ruin the pride of Egypt, and all its multitude shall perish. I will cause your hordes to fall by the swords of mighty men— the most ruthless of all nations. They will shatter the pride of Egypt, and all her hordes will be overthrown.
13 I'm going to destroy all of its livestock along its many riverbanks. Human feet won't muddy the rivers anymore, nor will the hooves of livestock stir up the water. I will destroy all its beasts from beside many waters; and no foot of man shall trouble them anymore, nor shall the hoofs of beasts trouble them. I will destroy all her cattle from beside abundant waters no longer to be stirred by the foot of man or muddied by the hooves of cattle.
14 That's when I'll make their waterways flow smoothly, and their rivers flow like olive oil,' declares the Lord GOD.| Then I will make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, declares the Lord GOD. Then I will let her waters settle and make her streams flow like oil, declares the Sovereign LORD.
15 When I turn the land of Egypt into a desolation, and the land is emptied of everything that used to fill it, when I strike everyone who lives there, they will learn that I am the LORD.' When I make the land of Egypt desolate, and when the land is desolate of all that fills it, when I strike down all who dwell in it, then they will know that I am the LORD. When I make Egypt desolate and strip the land of everything in it, when I strike down all who live there, then they will know that I am the LORD.’
16 |This has been a lamentation. They will chant it, and the citizens of the nations will chant it, too. They'll chant it about Egypt and about all of its hordes.| This is a lamentation that shall be chanted; the daughters of the nations shall chant it; over Egypt, and over all her multitude, shall they chant it, declares the Lord GOD.” “This is the lament they will chant for her. The daughters of the nations will chant it; for Egypt and all her hordes they will chant it, declares the Sovereign LORD.”
17 On the fifteenth day of the first month of the twelfth year of our captivity, a message from the LORD came to me, and this is what it said: In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me: In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:
18 |Son of Man, mourn about the hordes of Egypt. Bring them down—that is, her and the citizens of those majestic nations—whose destiny is the deep part of the Pit. “Son of man, wail over the multitude of Egypt, and send them down, her and the daughters of majestic nations, to the world below, to those who have gone down to the pit: “Son of man, wail for the hordes of Egypt and consign to the earth below both her and the daughters of mighty nations, along with those who go down to the pit.
19 |So who's more beautiful than you? You'll be buried with the uncircumcised. ‘Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down and be laid to rest with the uncircumcised.’ Say to them, ‘Are you more favored than others? Go down and be laid among the uncircumcised.’
20 |They'll die along with others who are killed violently. Egypt has been given over to violence, which will carry off both it and its hordes.| They shall fall amid those who are slain by the sword. Egypt is delivered to the sword; drag her away, and all her multitudes. They will fall among those killed by the sword. The sword is drawn; let her be dragged off with all her hordes.
21 |Mighty leaders will address them and those who assist them right out of the middle of Sheol: 'They've come down and will lie still, these uncircumcised people who have died violently.' The mighty chiefs shall speak of them, with their helpers, out of the midst of Sheol: ‘They have come down, they lie still, the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.’ From within the realm of the dead the mighty leaders will say of Egypt and her allies, ‘They have come down and they lie with the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword.’
22 Assyria will be there, along with all of those who keep company with her, all of them killed violently. “Assyria is there, and all her company, its graves all around it, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, “Assyria is there with her whole army; she is surrounded by the graves of all her slain, all who have fallen by the sword.
23 Her grave will be set in the remotest part of the Pit, surrounded by those who accompanied her. All of them will have been killed, executed violently, who spread terror throughout the land of the living. whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit; and her company is all around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who spread terror in the land of the living. Their graves are in the depths of the pit and her army lies around her grave. All who had spread terror in the land of the living are slain, fallen by the sword.
24 |Elam will be there. Its hordes will surround Elam's grave. All of them have been killed. They died violently, and they have descended uncircumcised into the world below after having spread terror throughout the land of the living. They will bear the shame of those who descend to the Pit. “Elam is there, and all her multitude around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who went down uncircumcised into the world below, who spread their terror in the land of the living; and they bear their shame with those who go down to the pit. “Elam is there, with all her hordes around her grave.

25 They have prepared a bed for her and for her hordes that surround her graves. All of them are uncircumcised, having been killed violently, because they had spread terror throughout the land of the living. They will bear the shame of those who descend to the Pit and will take their place among the dead. They have made her a bed among the slain with all her multitude, her graves all around it, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for terror of them was spread in the land of the living, and they bear their shame with those who go down to the pit; they are placed among the slain. A bed is made for her among the slain, with all her hordes around her grave. All of them are uncircumcised, killed by the sword.

All of them are uncircumcised, killed by the sword because they spread their terror in the land of the living.
27 They won't be buried with dead warriors from ancient times, who went straight to Sheol, buried with their war weapons, with their swords placed under their heads and their shields laid on top of their bones, since they spread terror throughout the land of the living. And they do not lie with the mighty, the fallen from among the uncircumcised, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, whose swords were laid under their heads, and whose iniquities are upon their bones; for the terror of the mighty men was in the land of the living. But they do not lie with the fallen warriors of old, who went down to the realm of the dead with their weapons of war—their swords placed under their heads and their shields resting on their bones—though these warriors also had terrorized the land of the living.

Pharaoh and all his army will die violently,| says the Lord GOD, “When Pharaoh sees them, he will be comforted for all his multitude, Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword, declares the Lord GOD. “Pharaoh—he and all his army—will see them and he will be consoled for all his hordes that were killed by the sword, declares the Sovereign LORD.
32 |because he spread terror throughout the land of the living. Therefore he'll be laid to rest among the uncircumcised, who have been killed violently; that is, Pharaoh and all of his hordes,| declares the Lord GOD. For I spread terror in the land of the living; and he shall be laid to rest among the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword, Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord GOD.” Although I had him spread terror in the land of the living, Pharaoh and all his hordes will be laid among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword, declares the Sovereign LORD.”
