1	And it came to pass in the twelfth# year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying# ,
			2	Son of man, take up# a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say# unto him, Thou art like# a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale# # in the seas: and thou camest forth# with thy rivers, and troubledst# the waters with thy feet, and fouledst# their rivers. [whale: or, dragon]
			3	Thus saith# the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out# my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up# in my net.
			4	Then will I leave# thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth# upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain# upon thee, and I will fill# the beasts of the whole earth with thee.
			5	And I will lay# thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill# the valleys with thy height.
			6	I will also water# with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full# of thee. [the land wherein...: or, the land of thy swimming]
			7	And when I shall put thee out# , I will cover# the heaven, and make# the stars thereof dark# ; I will cover# the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give# her light. [put...: or, extinguish thee]
			8	All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark# over thee, and set# darkness upon thy land, saith# the Lord GOD. [bright...: Heb. lights of the light in heaven] [dark: Heb. them dark]
			9	I will also vex# the hearts of many people, when I shall bring# thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known# . [vex: Heb. provoke to anger, or, grief]
			10	Yea, I will make many people amazed# at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid# for thee, 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 thy fall.
			11	For thus saith# the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come# upon thee.
			12	By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy 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 beasts thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble# them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble# them.
			14	Then will I make their waters deep# , and cause their rivers to run# like oil, saith# the Lord GOD.
			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 them that dwell# therein, then shall they know# that I am the LORD. [destitute...: Heb. desolate from the fulness thereof]
			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, saith# the Lord GOD.
			17	It came to pass also in the twelfth# year, in the fifteenth# day of the month, that the word of the LORD 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 them that go down# into the pit.
			19	Whom dost thou pass in beauty# ? go down# , and be thou laid# with the uncircumcised.
			20	They shall fall# in the midst of them that are slain by the sword: she is delivered# to the sword: draw# her and all her multitudes. [she...: or, the sword is laid]
			21	The strong among the mighty shall speak# to him out of the midst of hell with them that help# him: they are gone down# , they lie# uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
			22	Asshur is there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen# by the sword:
			23	Whose graves are set# in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen# by the sword, which caused# terror in the land of the living. [terror: or, dismaying]
			24	There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen# by the sword, which are gone down# uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused# their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne# their shame with them that go down# to the pit.
			25	They have set# her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves 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 them that go down# to the pit: he is put# in the midst of them that be slain.
			26	There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves 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 hell 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. [with their...: Heb. with weapons of their war]
			28	Yea, thou shalt be broken# in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie# with them that are slain with the sword.
			29	There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid# by them that were slain by the sword: they shall lie# with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down# to the pit. [laid: Heb. given, or, put]
			30	There be the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down# with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed# of their might; and they lie# uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword, and bear# their shame with them that 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, saith# the Lord GOD.
			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 them that are slain with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith# the Lord GOD.
