谴责牧者
34 耶和华的话临到我说： 2 “人子啊，你要向以色列的牧人发预言攻击他们，说：‘主耶和华如此说：祸哉，以色列的牧人！只知牧养自己。牧人岂不当牧养群羊吗？ 3 你们吃脂油，穿羊毛，宰肥壮的，却不牧养群羊。 4 瘦弱的你们没有养壮，有病的你们没有医治，受伤的你们没有缠裹，被逐的你们没有领回，失丧的你们没有寻找，但用强暴严严地辖制。 5 因无牧人，羊就分散，既分散，便做了一切野兽的食物。 6 我的羊在诸山间、在各高冈上流离，在全地上分散，无人去寻，无人去找。
必加惩罚
7 ‘所以你们这些牧人，要听耶和华的话。 8 主耶和华说：我指着我的永生起誓，我的羊因无牧人就成为掠物，也做了一切野兽的食物。我的牧人不寻找我的羊，这些牧人只知牧养自己，并不牧养我的羊。 9 所以你们这些牧人，要听耶和华的话。 10 主耶和华如此说：我必与牧人为敌，必向他们的手追讨我的羊，使他们不再牧放群羊，牧人也不再牧养自己。我必救我的羊脱离他们的口，不再做他们的食物。’
耶和华躬自做牧
11 “主耶和华如此说：看哪，我必亲自寻找我的羊，将他们寻见。 12 牧人在羊群四散的日子怎样寻找他的羊，我必照样寻找我的羊。这些羊在密云黑暗的日子散到各处，我必从那里救回他们来。 13 我必从万民中领出他们，从各国内聚集他们，引导他们归回故土。也必在以色列山上一切溪水旁边，境内一切可居之处牧养他们。 14 我必在美好的草场牧养他们，他们的圈必在以色列高处的山上。他们必在佳美之圈中躺卧，也在以色列山肥美的草场吃草。 15 主耶和华说：我必亲自做我羊的牧人，使他们得以躺卧。 16 失丧的我必寻找，被逐的我必领回，受伤的我必缠裹，有病的我必医治，只是肥的壮的我必除灭，也要秉公牧养他们。
17 “我的羊群哪，论到你们，主耶和华如此说：我必在羊与羊中间，公绵羊与公山羊中间施行判断。 18 你们这些肥壮的羊，在美好的草场吃草还以为小事吗？剩下的草你们竟用蹄践踏了！你们喝清水，剩下的水你们竟用蹄搅浑了！ 19 至于我的羊，只得吃你们所践踏的，喝你们所搅浑的。
预言其仆必牧群羊
20 “所以主耶和华如此说：我必在肥羊和瘦羊中间施行判断。 21 因为你们用胁用肩拥挤一切瘦弱的，又用角抵触，以致使他们四散， 22 所以我必拯救我的群羊不再做掠物，我也必在羊和羊中间施行判断。 23 我必立一牧人照管他们，牧养他们，就是我的仆人大卫。他必牧养他们，做他们的牧人。 24 我耶和华必做他们的神，我的仆人大卫必在他们中间做王。这是耶和华说的。
25 “我必与他们立平安的约，使恶兽从境内断绝，他们就必安居在旷野，躺卧在林中。 26 我必使他们与我山的四围成为福源，我也必叫时雨落下，必有福如甘霖而降。 27 田野的树必结果，地也必有出产，他们必在故土安然居住。我折断他们所负的轭，救他们脱离那以他们为奴之人的手，那时他们就知道我是耶和华。 28 他们必不再做外邦人的掠物，地上的野兽也不再吞吃他们，却要安然居住，无人惊吓。 29 我必给他们兴起有名的植物，他们在境内不再为饥荒所灭，也不再受外邦人的羞辱， 30 必知道我耶和华他们的神是与他们同在，并知道他们以色列家是我的民。这是主耶和华说的。 31 你们做我的羊，我草场上的羊，乃是以色列人，我也是你们的神。这是主耶和华说的。”

The Lord Will Be Israel’s Shepherd
34 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to you shepherds of Israel who only take care of yourselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock?(A) 3 You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock.(B) 4 You have not strengthened the weak or healed(C) the sick or bound up(D) the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally.(E) 5 So they were scattered because there was no shepherd,(F) and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild animals.(G) 6 My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill.(H) They were scattered(I) over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them.(J)
7 “‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8 As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, because my flock lacks a shepherd and so has been plundered(K) and has become food for all the wild animals,(L) and because my shepherds did not search for my flock but cared for themselves rather than for my flock,(M) 9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 10 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against(N) the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock. I will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves. I will rescue(O) my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.(P)
11 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep(Q) and look after them. 12 As a shepherd(R) looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.(S) 13 I will bring them out from the nations and gather(T) them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land.(U) I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land.(V) 14 I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel(W) will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture(X) on the mountains of Israel.(Y) 15 I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down,(Z) declares the Sovereign Lord.(AA) 16 I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up(AB) the injured and strengthen the weak,(AC) but the sleek and the strong I will destroy.(AD) I will shepherd the flock with justice.(AE)
17 “‘As for you, my flock, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will judge between one sheep and another, and between rams and goats.(AF) 18 Is it not enough(AG) for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of your pasture with your feet?(AH) Is it not enough for you to drink clear water? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet? 19 Must my flock feed on what you have trampled and drink what you have muddied with your feet?
20 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says to them: See, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.(AI) 21 Because you shove with flank and shoulder, butting all the weak sheep with your horns(AJ) until you have driven them away, 22 I will save my flock, and they will no longer be plundered. I will judge between one sheep and another.(AK) 23 I will place over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he will tend(AL) them; he will tend them and be their shepherd.(AM) 24 I the Lord will be their God,(AN) and my servant David(AO) will be prince among them.(AP) I the Lord have spoken.(AQ)
25 “‘I will make a covenant(AR) of peace(AS) with them and rid the land of savage beasts(AT) so that they may live in the wilderness and sleep in the forests in safety.(AU) 26 I will make them and the places surrounding my hill a blessing.[a](AV) I will send down showers in season;(AW) there will be showers of blessing.(AX) 27 The trees will yield their fruit(AY) and the ground will yield its crops;(AZ) the people will be secure(BA) in their land. They will know that I am the Lord, when I break the bars of their yoke(BB) and rescue them from the hands of those who enslaved them.(BC) 28 They will no longer be plundered by the nations, nor will wild animals devour them. They will live in safety,(BD) and no one will make them afraid.(BE) 29 I will provide for them a land renowned(BF) for its crops, and they will no longer be victims of famine(BG) in the land or bear the scorn(BH) of the nations.(BI) 30 Then they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them and that they, the Israelites, are my people, declares the Sovereign Lord.(BJ) 31 You are my sheep,(BK) the sheep of my pasture,(BL) and I am your God, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”

预言亚扪人乐以色列遘灾必受重报
25 耶和华的话临到我说： 2 “人子啊，你要面向亚扪人说预言攻击他们， 3 说：‘你们当听主耶和华的话！主耶和华如此说：我的圣所被亵渎，以色列地变荒凉，犹大家被掳掠，那时你便因这些事说“啊哈！”。 4 所以我必将你的地交给东方人为业，他们必在你的地上安营居住，吃你的果子，喝你的奶。 5 我必使拉巴为骆驼场，使亚扪人的地为羊群躺卧之处，你们就知道我是耶和华。 6 主耶和华如此说：因你拍手顿足，以满心的恨恶向以色列地欢喜， 7 所以我伸手攻击你，将你交给列国作为掳物。我必从万民中剪除你，使你从万国中败亡。我必除灭你，你就知道我是耶和华。’
摩押西珥亦必遭报
8 “主耶和华如此说：因摩押和西珥人说‘看哪，犹大家与列国无异’， 9 所以我要破开摩押边界上的城邑，就是摩押人看为本国之荣耀的伯耶西末、巴力免、基列亭， 10 好使东方人来攻击亚扪人。我必将亚扪人之地交给他们为业，使亚扪人在列国中不再被记念。 11 我必向摩押施行审判，他们就知道我是耶和华。
以东亦必遭报
12 “主耶和华如此说：因为以东报仇雪恨，攻击犹大家，向他们报仇，大大有罪， 13 所以主耶和华如此说：我必伸手攻击以东，剪除人与牲畜，使以东从提幔起，人必倒在刀下，地要变为荒凉，直到底但。 14 我必借我民以色列的手报复以东，以色列民必照我的怒气，按我的愤怒在以东施报，以东人就知道是我施报。这是主耶和华说的。
非利士亦必遭报
15 “主耶和华如此说：因非利士人向犹大人报仇，就是以恨恶的心报仇雪恨，永怀仇恨，要毁灭他们， 16 所以主耶和华如此说：我必伸手攻击非利士人，剪除基利提人，灭绝沿海剩下的居民。 17 我向他们大施报应，发怒斥责他们。我报复他们的时候，他们就知道我是耶和华。”
推罗狂傲乐耶路撒冷受灾亦必遭报
26 第十一年十一月初一日，耶和华的话临到我说： 2 “人子啊，因推罗向耶路撒冷说‘啊哈！那做众民之门的已经破坏，向我开放。她既变为荒场，我必丰盛’， 3 所以主耶和华如此说：推罗啊，我必与你为敌，使许多国民上来攻击你，如同海使波浪涌上来一样。 4 他们必破坏推罗的墙垣，拆毁她的城楼。我也要刮净尘土，使她成为净光的磐石。 5 她必在海中做晒网的地方，也必成为列国的掳物。这是主耶和华说的。 6 属推罗城邑的居民[a]必被刀剑杀灭，他们就知道我是耶和华。
将为巴比伦王所攻
7 “主耶和华如此说：我必使诸王之王的巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领马匹、车辆、马兵、军队和许多人民从北方来攻击你推罗。 8 他必用刀剑杀灭属你城邑的居民，也必造台筑垒举盾牌攻击你。 9 他必安设撞城锤攻破你的墙垣，用铁器拆毁你的城楼。 10 因他的马匹众多，尘土扬起遮蔽你。他进入你的城门，好像人进入已有破口之城。那时，你的墙垣必因骑马的和战车、辎重车的响声震动。 11 他的马蹄必践踏你一切的街道，他必用刀杀戮你的居民，你坚固的柱子[b]必倒在地上。 12 人必以你的财宝为掳物，以你的货财为掠物，破坏你的墙垣，拆毁你华美的房屋，将你的石头、木头、尘土都抛在水中。 13 我必使你唱歌的声音止息，人也不再听见你弹琴的声音。 14 我必使你成为净光的磐石，做晒网的地方，你不得再被建造，因为这是主耶和华说的。
推罗倾圯海岛震动为作哀歌
15 “主耶和华对推罗如此说：在你中间行杀戮，受伤之人唉哼的时候，因你倾倒的响声，海岛岂不都震动吗？ 16 那时靠海的君王必都下位，除去朝服，脱下花衣，披上战兢，坐在地上，时刻发抖，为你惊骇。 17 他们必为你作起哀歌说：‘你这有名之城，素为航海之人居住，在海上为最坚固的，平日你和居民使一切住在那里的人无不惊恐，现在何竟毁灭了！ 18 如今在你这倾覆的日子，海岛都必战兢；海中的群岛见你归于无有，就都惊惶。’
19 “主耶和华如此说：推罗啊，我使你变为荒凉，如无人居住的城邑，又使深水漫过你，大水淹没你。 20 那时我要叫你下入阴府，与古时的人一同在地的深处，久已荒凉之地居住，使你不再有居民，我也要在活人之地显荣耀[c]。 21 我必叫你令人惊恐，不再存留于世，人虽寻找你，却永寻不见。这是主耶和华说的。”
叹推罗创建完美
27 耶和华的话又临到我说： 2 “人子啊，要为推罗作起哀歌， 3 说：‘你居住海口，是众民的商埠，你的交易通到许多的海岛。主耶和华如此说：推罗啊，你曾说：“我是全然美丽的。” 4 你的境界在海中，造你的使你全然美丽。 5 他们用示尼珥的松树做你的一切板，用黎巴嫩的香柏树做桅杆， 6 用巴珊的橡树做你的桨，用象牙镶嵌基提海岛的黄杨木为坐板[d]。 7 你的篷帆是用埃及绣花细麻布做的，可以做你的大旗，你的凉篷是用以利沙岛的蓝色、紫色布做的。 8 西顿和亚发的居民做你荡桨的，推罗啊，你中间的智慧人做掌舵的。 9 迦巴勒的老者和聪明人都在你中间做补缝的，一切泛海的船只和水手都在你中间经营交易的事。 10 波斯人、路德人、弗人在你军营中做战士，他们在你中间悬挂盾牌和头盔，彰显你的尊荣。 11 亚发人和你的军队都在你四围的墙上，你的望楼也有勇士，他们悬挂盾牌，成全你的美丽。
商贾云集贸易丰富
12 ‘他施人因你多有各类的财物，就做你的客商，拿银、铁、锡、铅兑换你的货物。 13 雅完人、土巴人、米设人都与你交易，他们用人口和铜器兑换你的货物。 14 陀迦玛族用马和战马并骡子兑换你的货物。 15 底但人与你交易，许多海岛做你的码头，他们拿象牙、乌木与你兑换[e]。 16 亚兰人因你的工作很多，就做你的客商，他们用绿宝石、紫色布绣货、细麻布、珊瑚、红宝石兑换你的货物。 17 犹大和以色列地的人都与你交易，他们用米匿的麦子、饼、蜜、油、乳香兑换你的货物。 18 大马士革人因你的工作很多，又因你多有各类的财物，就拿黑本酒和白羊毛与你交易。 19 威但人和雅完人拿纺成的线、亮铁、桂皮、菖蒲兑换你的货物。 20 底但人用高贵的毯子、鞍、屉与你交易。 21 阿拉伯人和基达的一切首领都做你的客商，用羊羔、公绵羊、公山羊与你交易。 22 示巴和拉玛的商人与你交易，他们用各类上好的香料、各类的宝石和黄金兑换你的货物。 23 哈兰人、干尼人、伊甸人、示巴的商人和亚述人、基抹人与你交易， 24 这些商人以美好的货物包在绣花蓝色包袱内，又有华丽的衣服装在香柏木的箱子里，用绳捆着与你交易。 25 他施的船只接连成帮为你运货，你便在海中丰富，极其荣华。
倾覆沦亡不复振兴
26 ‘荡桨的已经把你荡到大水之处，东风在海中将你打破。 27 你的资财、物件、货物、水手、掌舵的、补缝的、经营交易的，并你中间的战士和人民，在你破坏的日子必都沉在海中。 28 你掌舵的呼号之声一发，郊野都必震动。 29 凡荡桨的和水手，并一切泛海掌舵的，都必下船登岸。 30 他们必为你放声痛哭，把尘土撒在头上，在灰中打滚。 31 又为你，使头上光秃，用麻布束腰，号啕痛哭，苦苦悲哀。 32 他们哀号的时候，为你作起哀歌哀哭说：“有何城如推罗？有何城如她在海中成为寂寞的呢？ 33 你由海上运出货物，就使许多国民充足，你以许多资财、货物使地上的君王丰富。 34 你在深水中被海浪打破的时候，你的货物和你中间的一切人民，就都沉下去了。 35 海岛的居民为你惊奇，他们的君王都甚恐慌，面带愁容。 36 各国民中的客商都向你发咝声。你令人惊恐，不再存留于世，直到永远。”’”
推罗君骄侈僭称神必受重惩
28 耶和华的话又临到我说： 2 “人子啊，你对推罗君王说：‘主耶和华如此说：因你心里高傲，说“我是神，我在海中坐神之位”，你虽然居心自比神，也不过是人，并不是神。 3 （看哪，你比但以理更有智慧，什么秘事都不能向你隐藏。 4 你靠自己的智慧、聪明得了金银财宝，收入库中。 5 你靠自己的大智慧和贸易增添资财，又因资财心里高傲。） 6 所以主耶和华如此说：因你居心自比神， 7 我必使外邦人，就是列国中的强暴人，临到你这里。他们必拔刀砍坏你用智慧得来的美物，亵渎你的荣光。 8 他们必使你下坑，你必死在海中，与被杀的人一样。 9 在杀你的人面前，你还能说“我是神”吗？其实你在杀害你的人手中，不过是人，并不是神。 10 你必死在外邦人手中，与未受割礼[f]的人一样，因为这是主耶和华说的。’”
叹其荣美为罪污蔑
11 耶和华的话临到我说： 12 “人子啊，你为推罗王作起哀歌，说：‘主耶和华如此说：你无所不备，智慧充足，全然美丽。 13 你曾在伊甸神的园中，佩戴各样宝石，就是红宝石、红璧玺、金钢石、水苍玉、红玛瑙、碧玉、蓝宝石、绿宝石、红玉和黄金，又有精美的鼓、笛在你那里，都是在你受造之日预备齐全的。 14 你是那受膏遮掩约柜的基路伯，我将你安置在神的圣山上，你在发光如火的宝石中间往来。 15 你从受造之日所行的都完全，后来在你中间又察出不义。 16 因你贸易很多，就被强暴的事充满，以致犯罪。所以我因你亵渎圣地，就从神的山驱逐你。遮掩约柜的基路伯啊，我已将你从发光如火的宝石中除灭。 17 你因美丽心中高傲，又因荣光败坏智慧，我已将你摔倒在地，使你倒在君王面前，好叫他们目睹眼见。 18 你因罪孽众多、贸易不公，就亵渎你那里的圣所。故此，我使火从你中间发出，烧灭你，使你在所有观看的人眼前变为地上的炉灰。 19 各国民中凡认识你的，都必为你惊奇。你令人惊恐，不再存留于世，直到永远。’”
预言西顿之灾
20 耶和华的话临到我说： 21 “人子啊，你要向西顿预言攻击她， 22 说：‘主耶和华如此说：西顿哪，我与你为敌，我必在你中间得荣耀。我在你中间施行审判，显为圣的时候，人就知道我是耶和华。 23 我必使瘟疫进入西顿，使血流在她街上。被杀的必在其中仆倒，四围有刀剑临到她，人就知道我是耶和华。 24 四围恨恶以色列家的人，必不再向他们做刺人的荆棘、伤人的蒺藜，人就知道我是主耶和华。’
以色列必复集振兴
25 “主耶和华如此说：我将分散在万民中的以色列家招聚回来，向他们在列邦人眼前显为圣的时候，他们就在我赐给我仆人雅各之地仍然居住。 26 他们要在这地上安然居住。我向四围恨恶他们的众人施行审判以后，他们要盖造房屋，栽种葡萄园，安然居住，就知道我是耶和华他们的神。”
预言埃及王法老遭报
29 第十年十月十二日，耶和华的话临到我说： 2 “人子啊，你要向埃及王法老预言攻击他和埃及全地， 3 说：‘主耶和华如此说：埃及王法老啊，我与你这卧在自己河中的大鱼为敌，你曾说：“这河是我的，是我为自己造的。” 4 我耶和华必用钩子钩住你的腮颊，又使江河中的鱼贴住你的鳞甲。我必将你和所有贴住你鳞甲的鱼，从江河中拉上来， 5 把你并江河中的鱼都抛在旷野。你必倒在田间，不被收殓，不被掩埋。我已将你给地上野兽、空中飞鸟做食物。 6 埃及一切的居民，因向以色列家成了芦苇的杖，就知道我是耶和华。 7 他们用手持住你，你就断折，伤了他们的肩；他们倚靠你，你就断折，闪了他们的腰。
必以刀剑灭绝之
8 ‘所以主耶和华如此说：我必使刀剑临到你，从你中间将人与牲畜剪除。 9 埃及地必荒废凄凉，他们就知道我是耶和华。因为法老说“这河是我的，是我所造的”， 10 所以我必与你并你的江河为敌，使埃及地，从色弗尼塔直到古实境界，全然荒废凄凉。 11 人的脚、兽的蹄都不经过，四十年之久并无人居住。 12 我必使埃及地在荒凉的国中成为荒凉，使埃及城在荒废的城中变为荒废，共有四十年。我必将埃及人分散在列国，四散在列邦。
越四十年必使微兴
13 ‘主耶和华如此说：满了四十年，我必招聚分散在各国民中的埃及人。 14 我必叫埃及被掳的人回来，使他们归回本地巴忒罗。在那里必成为低微的国， 15 必为列国中最低微的，也不再自高于列国之上。我必减少他们，以致不再辖制列国。 16 埃及必不再做以色列家所倚靠的。以色列家仰望埃及人的时候，便思念罪孽，他们就知道我是主耶和华。’”
必以埃及地赐巴比伦王为赏劳
17 二十七年正月初一日，耶和华的话临到我说： 18 “人子啊，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒使他的军兵大大效劳，攻打推罗，以致头都光秃，肩都磨破。然而他和他的军兵攻打推罗，并没有从那里得什么酬劳。 19 所以主耶和华如此说：我必将埃及地赐给巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒，他必掳掠埃及群众，抢其中的财为掳物，夺其中的货为掠物，这就可以做他军兵的酬劳。 20 我将埃及地赐给他，酬他所效的劳，因王与军兵是为我勤劳。这是主耶和华说的。
以色列必复兴起
21 “当那日，我必使以色列家的角发生，又必使你以西结在他们中间得以开口，他们就知道我是耶和华。”
埃及与其同盟必偕败亡
30 耶和华的话又临到我说： 2 “人子啊，你要发预言说：‘主耶和华如此说：哀哉这日！你们应当哭号。 3 因为耶和华的日子临近，就是密云之日，列国受罚之期。 4 必有刀剑临到埃及，在埃及被杀之人仆倒的时候，古实人就有痛苦；人民必被掳掠，基址必被拆毁。 5 古实人、弗人[g]、路德人、杂族的人民并古巴人，以及同盟之地的人，都要与埃及人一同倒在刀下。
6 ‘耶和华如此说：扶助埃及的也必倾倒，埃及因势力而有的骄傲必降低微，其中的人民从色弗尼塔起[h]必倒在刀下。这是主耶和华说的。 7 埃及地在荒凉的国中必成为荒凉，埃及城在荒废的城中也变为荒废。 8 我在埃及中使火着起，帮助埃及的都被灭绝，那时他们就知道我是耶和华。 9 到那日，必有使者坐船从我面前出去，使安逸无虑的古实人惊惧；必有痛苦临到他们，好像埃及遭灾的日子一样。看哪，这事临近了！
10 ‘主耶和华如此说：我必借巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手除灭埃及众人。 11 他和随从他的人，就是列国中强暴的，必进来毁灭这地。他们必拔刀攻击埃及，使遍地有被杀的人。 12 我必使江河干涸，将地卖在恶人的手中。我必借外邦人的手，使这地和其中所有的变为凄凉。这是我耶和华说的。
13 ‘主耶和华如此说：我必毁灭偶像，从挪弗除灭神像。必不再有君王出自埃及地，我要使埃及地的人惧怕。 14 我必使巴忒罗荒凉，在琐安中使火着起，向挪施行审判。 15 我必将我的愤怒倒在埃及的保障上，就是训上，并要剪除挪的众人。 16 我必在埃及中使火着起，训必大大痛苦，挪必被攻破，挪弗白日[i]见仇敌。 17 亚文和比伯实的少年人必倒在刀下，这些城的人必被掳掠。 18 我在答比匿折断埃及的诸轭，使她因势力而有的骄傲在其中止息，那时日光必退去。至于这城，必有密云遮蔽，其中的女子必被掳掠。 19 我必这样向埃及施行审判，他们就知道我是耶和华。’”
耶和华折法老之臂
20 十一年正月初七日，耶和华的话临到我说： 21 “人子啊，我已打折埃及王法老的膀臂，没有敷药，也没有用布缠好，使他有力持刀。 22 所以主耶和华如此说：看哪，我与埃及王法老为敌，必将他有力的膀臂和已打折的膀臂全行打断，使刀从他手中坠落。 23 我必将埃及人分散在列国，四散在列邦。
坚强巴比伦王之臂
24 “我必使巴比伦王的膀臂有力，将我的刀交在他手中；却要打断法老的膀臂，他就在巴比伦王面前唉哼，如同受死伤的人一样。 25 我必扶持巴比伦王的膀臂，法老的膀臂却要下垂。我将我的刀交在巴比伦王手中，他必举刀攻击埃及地，他们就知道我是耶和华。 26 我必将埃及人分散在列国，四散在列邦，他们就知道我是耶和华。”
向法老述亚述王之荣美
31 十一年三月初一日，耶和华的话临到我说： 2 “人子啊，你要向埃及王法老和他的众人说：‘在威势上谁能与你相比呢？ 3 亚述王曾如黎巴嫩中的香柏树，枝条荣美，影密如林，极其高大，树尖插入云中。 4 众水使它生长，深水使它长大，所栽之地有江河围流，汊出的水道延到田野诸树。 5 所以它高大超过田野诸树，发旺的时候枝子繁多，因得大水之力枝条长长。 6 空中的飞鸟都在枝子上搭窝，田野的走兽都在枝条下生子，所有大国的人民都在它荫下居住。 7 树大条长，成为荣美，因为根在众水之旁。 8 神园中的香柏树不能遮蔽它，松树不及它的枝子，枫树不及它的枝条，神园中的树都没有它荣美。 9 我使它的枝条蕃多，成为荣美，以致神伊甸园中的树都嫉妒它。
因其骄狂邪恶必遭败亡
10 ‘所以主耶和华如此说：因它高大，树尖插入云中，心骄气傲， 11 我就必将它交给列国中大有威势的人，他必定办它。我因它的罪恶，已经驱逐它。 12 外邦人，就是列邦中强暴的，将它砍断弃掉。它的枝条落在山间和一切谷中，它的枝子折断，落在地的一切河旁。地上的众民已经走去，离开它的荫下。 13 空中的飞鸟都要宿在这败落的树上，田野的走兽都要卧在它的枝条下， 14 好使水旁的诸树不因高大而自尊，也不将树尖插入云中，并且那些得水滋润有势力的也不得高大自立。因为它们在世人中，和下坑的人都被交于死亡，到阴府去了。
15 ‘主耶和华如此说：它下阴间的那日，我便使人悲哀。我为它遮盖深渊，使江河凝结，大水停流。我也使黎巴嫩为它凄惨，田野的诸树都因它发昏。 16 我将它扔到阴间，与下坑的人一同下去，那时列国听见它坠落的响声就都震动，并且伊甸的一切树，就是黎巴嫩得水滋润最佳最美的树，都在阴府受了安慰。 17 它们也与它同下阴间，到被杀的人那里，它们曾做它的膀臂，在列国中它的荫下居住。
埃及亦必堕落
18 ‘在这样荣耀威势上，在伊甸园诸树中，谁能与你相比呢？然而你要与伊甸的诸树一同下到阴府，在未受割礼的人中与被杀的人一同躺卧。法老和他的群众乃是如此。这是主耶和华说的。’”

A Prophecy Against Ammon
25 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, set your face against(A) the Ammonites(B) and prophesy against them.(C) 3 Say to them, ‘Hear the word of the Sovereign Lord. This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you said “Aha!(D)” over my sanctuary when it was desecrated(E) and over the land of Israel when it was laid waste and over the people of Judah when they went into exile,(F) 4 therefore I am going to give you to the people of the East(G) as a possession. They will set up their camps(H) and pitch their tents among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk.(I) 5 I will turn Rabbah(J) into a pasture for camels and Ammon into a resting place for sheep.(K) Then you will know that I am the Lord. 6 For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you have clapped your hands(L) and stamped your feet, rejoicing with all the malice of your heart against the land of Israel,(M) 7 therefore I will stretch out my hand(N) against you and give you as plunder(O) to the nations. I will wipe you out from among the nations and exterminate you from the countries. I will destroy(P) you, and you will know that I am the Lord.(Q)’”
A Prophecy Against Moab
8 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because Moab(R) and Seir(S) said, “Look, Judah has become like all the other nations,” 9 therefore I will expose the flank of Moab, beginning at its frontier towns—Beth Jeshimoth(T), Baal Meon(U) and Kiriathaim(V)—the glory of that land. 10 I will give Moab along with the Ammonites to the people of the East as a possession, so that the Ammonites will not be remembered(W) among the nations; 11 and I will inflict punishment on Moab. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”(X)
A Prophecy Against Edom
12 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because Edom(Y) took revenge on Judah and became very guilty by doing so, 13 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will stretch out my hand(Z) against Edom and kill both man and beast.(AA) I will lay it waste, and from Teman(AB) to Dedan(AC) they will fall by the sword.(AD) 14 I will take vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel, and they will deal with Edom in accordance with my anger(AE) and my wrath; they will know my vengeance, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”(AF)
A Prophecy Against Philistia
15 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because the Philistines(AG) acted in vengeance and took revenge with malice(AH) in their hearts, and with ancient hostility sought to destroy Judah, 16 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am about to stretch out my hand against the Philistines,(AI) and I will wipe out the Kerethites(AJ) and destroy those remaining along the coast.(AK) 17 I will carry out great vengeance(AL) on them and punish(AM) them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the Lord,(AN) when I take vengeance on them.(AO)’”
A Prophecy Against Tyre
26 In the eleventh month of the twelfth[a] year, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:(AP) 2 “Son of man, because Tyre(AQ) has said of Jerusalem, ‘Aha!(AR) The gate to the nations is broken, and its doors have swung open to me; now that she lies in ruins I will prosper,’ 3 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Tyre, and I will bring many nations against you, like the sea(AS) casting up its waves. 4 They will destroy(AT) the walls of Tyre(AU) and pull down her towers; I will scrape away her rubble and make her a bare rock. 5 Out in the sea(AV) she will become a place to spread fishnets,(AW) for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord. She will become plunder(AX) for the nations,(AY) 6 and her settlements on the mainland will be ravaged by the sword. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
7 “For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: From the north I am going to bring against Tyre Nebuchadnezzar[b](AZ) king of Babylon, king of kings,(BA) with horses and chariots,(BB) with horsemen and a great army. 8 He will ravage your settlements on the mainland with the sword; he will set up siege works(BC) against you, build a ramp(BD) up to your walls and raise his shields against you. 9 He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and demolish your towers with his weapons.(BE) 10 His horses will be so many that they will cover you with dust. Your walls will tremble at the noise of the warhorses, wagons and chariots(BF) when he enters your gates as men enter a city whose walls have been broken through. 11 The hooves(BG) of his horses will trample all your streets; he will kill your people with the sword, and your strong pillars(BH) will fall to the ground.(BI) 12 They will plunder your wealth and loot your merchandise; they will break down your walls and demolish your fine houses and throw your stones, timber and rubble into the sea.(BJ) 13 I will put an end(BK) to your noisy songs,(BL) and the music of your harps(BM) will be heard no more.(BN) 14 I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread fishnets. You will never be rebuilt,(BO) for I the Lord have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.
15 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Tyre: Will not the coastlands(BP) tremble(BQ) at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan(BR) and the slaughter takes place in you? 16 Then all the princes of the coast will step down from their thrones and lay aside their robes and take off their embroidered(BS) garments. Clothed(BT) with terror, they will sit on the ground,(BU) trembling(BV) every moment, appalled(BW) at you. 17 Then they will take up a lament(BX) concerning you and say to you:
“‘How you are destroyed, city of renown,
peopled by men of the sea!
You were a power on the seas,
you and your citizens;
you put your terror
on all who lived there.(BY)
18 Now the coastlands tremble(BZ)
on the day of your fall;
the islands in the sea
are terrified at your collapse.’(CA)
19 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When I make you a desolate city, like cities no longer inhabited, and when I bring the ocean depths(CB) over you and its vast waters cover you,(CC) 20 then I will bring you down with those who go down to the pit,(CD) to the people of long ago. I will make you dwell in the earth below, as in ancient ruins, with those who go down to the pit, and you will not return or take your place[c] in the land of the living.(CE) 21 I will bring you to a horrible end and you will be no more.(CF) You will be sought, but you will never again be found, declares the Sovereign Lord.”(CG)
A Lament Over Tyre
27 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, take up a lament(CH) concerning Tyre. 3 Say to Tyre,(CI) situated at the gateway to the sea,(CJ) merchant of peoples on many coasts, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘You say, Tyre,
“I am perfect in beauty.(CK)”
4 Your domain was on the high seas;
your builders brought your beauty to perfection.(CL)
5 They made all your timbers
of juniper from Senir[d];(CM)
they took a cedar from Lebanon(CN)
to make a mast for you.
6 Of oaks(CO) from Bashan
they made your oars;
of cypress wood[e] from the coasts of Cyprus(CP)
they made your deck, adorned with ivory.
7 Fine embroidered linen(CQ) from Egypt was your sail
and served as your banner;
your awnings were of blue and purple(CR)
from the coasts of Elishah.(CS)
8 Men of Sidon and Arvad(CT) were your oarsmen;
your skilled men, Tyre, were aboard as your sailors.(CU)
9 Veteran craftsmen of Byblos(CV) were on board
as shipwrights to caulk your seams.
All the ships of the sea(CW) and their sailors
came alongside to trade for your wares.
10 “‘Men of Persia,(CX) Lydia(CY) and Put(CZ)
served as soldiers in your army.
They hung their shields(DA) and helmets on your walls,
bringing you splendor.
11 Men of Arvad and Helek
guarded your walls on every side;
men of Gammad
were in your towers.
They hung their shields around your walls;
they brought your beauty to perfection.(DB)
12 “‘Tarshish(DC) did business with you because of your great wealth of goods;(DD) they exchanged silver, iron, tin and lead for your merchandise.
13 “‘Greece,(DE) Tubal and Meshek(DF) did business with you; they traded human beings(DG) and articles of bronze for your wares.
14 “‘Men of Beth Togarmah(DH) exchanged chariot horses, cavalry horses and mules for your merchandise.
15 “‘The men of Rhodes[f](DI) traded with you, and many coastlands(DJ) were your customers; they paid you with ivory(DK) tusks and ebony.
16 “‘Aram[g](DL) did business with you because of your many products; they exchanged turquoise,(DM) purple fabric, embroidered work, fine linen,(DN) coral(DO) and rubies for your merchandise.
17 “‘Judah and Israel traded with you; they exchanged wheat(DP) from Minnith(DQ) and confections,[h] honey, olive oil and balm(DR) for your wares.(DS)
18 “‘Damascus(DT) did business with you because of your many products and great wealth of goods.(DU) They offered wine from Helbon, wool from Zahar 19 and casks of wine from Izal(DV) in exchange for your wares: wrought iron, cassia(DW) and calamus.
20 “‘Dedan(DX) traded in saddle blankets with you.
21 “‘Arabia(DY) and all the princes of Kedar(DZ) were your customers; they did business with you in lambs, rams and goats.
22 “‘The merchants of Sheba(EA) and Raamah traded with you; for your merchandise they exchanged the finest of all kinds of spices(EB) and precious stones, and gold.(EC)
23 “‘Harran,(ED) Kanneh and Eden(EE) and merchants of Sheba, Ashur(EF) and Kilmad traded with you. 24 In your marketplace they traded with you beautiful garments, blue fabric, embroidered work and multicolored rugs with cords twisted and tightly knotted.
25 “‘The ships of Tarshish(EG) serve
as carriers for your wares.
You are filled with heavy cargo
as you sail the sea.(EH)
26 Your oarsmen take you
out to the high seas.
But the east wind(EI) will break you to pieces
far out at sea.
27 Your wealth,(EJ) merchandise and wares,
your mariners, sailors and shipwrights,
your merchants and all your soldiers,
and everyone else on board
will sink into the heart of the sea(EK)
on the day of your shipwreck.
28 The shorelands will quake(EL)
when your sailors cry out.
29 All who handle the oars
will abandon their ships;
the mariners and all the sailors
will stand on the shore.
30 They will raise their voice
and cry bitterly over you;
they will sprinkle dust(EM) on their heads
and roll(EN) in ashes.(EO)
31 They will shave their heads(EP) because of you
and will put on sackcloth.
They will weep(EQ) over you with anguish of soul
and with bitter mourning.(ER)
32 As they wail and mourn over you,
they will take up a lament(ES) concerning you:
“Who was ever silenced like Tyre,
surrounded by the sea?(ET)”
33 When your merchandise went out on the seas,(EU)
you satisfied many nations;
with your great wealth(EV) and your wares
you enriched the kings of the earth.
34 Now you are shattered by the sea
in the depths of the waters;
your wares and all your company
have gone down with you.(EW)
35 All who live in the coastlands(EX)
are appalled(EY) at you;
their kings shudder with horror
and their faces are distorted with fear.(EZ)
36 The merchants among the nations scoff at you;(FA)
you have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.(FB)’”
A Prophecy Against the King of Tyre
28 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man(FC), say to the ruler of Tyre, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘In the pride of your heart
you say, “I am a god;
I sit on the throne(FD) of a god
in the heart of the seas.”(FE)
But you are a mere mortal and not a god,
though you think you are as wise as a god.(FF)
3 Are you wiser than Daniel[i]?(FG)
Is no secret hidden from you?
4 By your wisdom and understanding
you have gained wealth for yourself
and amassed gold and silver
in your treasuries.(FH)
5 By your great skill in trading(FI)
you have increased your wealth,(FJ)
and because of your wealth
your heart has grown proud.(FK)
6 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘Because you think you are wise,
as wise as a god,
7 I am going to bring foreigners against you,
the most ruthless of nations;(FL)
they will draw their swords against your beauty and wisdom(FM)
and pierce your shining splendor.(FN)
8 They will bring you down to the pit,(FO)
and you will die a violent death(FP)
in the heart of the seas.(FQ)
9 Will you then say, “I am a god,”
in the presence of those who kill you?
You will be but a mortal, not a god,(FR)
in the hands of those who slay you.(FS)
10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised(FT)
at the hands of foreigners.
I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”
11 The word of the Lord came to me: 12 “Son of man, take up a lament(FU) concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘You were the seal of perfection,
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.(FV)
13 You were in Eden,(FW)
the garden of God;(FX)
every precious stone(FY) adorned you:
carnelian, chrysolite and emerald,
topaz, onyx and jasper,
lapis lazuli, turquoise(FZ) and beryl.[j]
Your settings and mountings[k] were made of gold;
on the day you were created they were prepared.(GA)
14 You were anointed(GB) as a guardian cherub,(GC)
for so I ordained you.
You were on the holy mount of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.
15 You were blameless in your ways
from the day you were created
till wickedness was found in you.
16 Through your widespread trade
you were filled with violence,(GD)
and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,
and I expelled you, guardian cherub,(GE)
from among the fiery stones.
17 Your heart became proud(GF)
on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
because of your splendor.
So I threw you to the earth;
I made a spectacle of you before kings.(GG)
18 By your many sins and dishonest trade
you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire(GH) come out from you,
and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes(GI) on the ground
in the sight of all who were watching.(GJ)
19 All the nations who knew you
are appalled(GK) at you;
you have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.(GL)’”
A Prophecy Against Sidon
20 The word of the Lord came to me: 21 “Son of man, set your face against(GM) Sidon;(GN) prophesy against her 22 and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘I am against you, Sidon,
and among you I will display my glory.(GO)
You will know that I am the Lord,
when I inflict punishment(GP) on you
and within you am proved to be holy.(GQ)
23 I will send a plague upon you
and make blood flow in your streets.
The slain will fall within you,
with the sword against you on every side.
Then you will know that I am the Lord.(GR)
24 “‘No longer will the people of Israel have malicious neighbors who are painful briers and sharp thorns.(GS) Then they will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.
25 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When I gather(GT) the people of Israel from the nations where they have been scattered,(GU) I will be proved holy(GV) through them in the sight of the nations. Then they will live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.(GW) 26 They will live there in safety(GX) and will build houses and plant(GY) vineyards; they will live in safety when I inflict punishment(GZ) on all their neighbors who maligned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.(HA)’”
A Prophecy Against Egypt
Judgment on Pharaoh
29 In the tenth year, in the tenth month on the twelfth day, the word of the Lord came to me:(HB) 2 “Son of man, set your face against(HC) Pharaoh king of Egypt(HD) and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.(HE) 3 Speak to him and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘I am against you, Pharaoh(HF) king of Egypt,
you great monster(HG) lying among your streams.
You say, “The Nile(HH) belongs to me;
I made it for myself.”
4 But I will put hooks(HI) in your jaws
and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales.
I will pull you out from among your streams,
with all the fish sticking to your scales.(HJ)
5 I will leave you in the desert,
you and all the fish of your streams.
You will fall on the open field
and not be gathered(HK) or picked up.
I will give you as food
to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the sky.(HL)
6 Then all who live in Egypt will know that I am the Lord.
“‘You have been a staff of reed(HM) for the people of Israel. 7 When they grasped you with their hands, you splintered(HN) and you tore open their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke and their backs were wrenched.[l](HO)
8 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will bring a sword against you and kill both man and beast.(HP) 9 Egypt will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
“‘Because you said, “The Nile(HQ) is mine; I made it,(HR)” 10 therefore I am against you(HS) and against your streams, and I will make the land of Egypt(HT) a ruin and a desolate waste(HU) from Migdol(HV) to Aswan,(HW) as far as the border of Cush.[m](HX) 11 The foot of neither man nor beast will pass through it; no one will live there for forty years.(HY) 12 I will make the land of Egypt desolate(HZ) among devastated lands, and her cities will lie desolate forty years among ruined cities. And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries.(IA)
13 “‘Yet this is what the Sovereign Lord says: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations where they were scattered. 14 I will bring them back from captivity and return them to Upper Egypt,(IB) the land of their ancestry. There they will be a lowly(IC) kingdom.(ID) 15 It will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the other nations.(IE) I will make it so weak that it will never again rule over the nations. 16 Egypt will no longer be a source of confidence(IF) for the people of Israel but will be a reminder(IG) of their sin in turning to her for help.(IH) Then they will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.(II)’”
Nebuchadnezzar’s Reward
17 In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month on the first day, the word of the Lord came to me:(IJ) 18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar(IK) king of Babylon drove his army in a hard campaign against Tyre; every head was rubbed bare(IL) and every shoulder made raw.(IM) Yet he and his army got no reward from the campaign he led against Tyre. 19 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to give Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king(IN) of Babylon, and he will carry off its wealth. He will loot and plunder(IO) the land as pay for his army.(IP) 20 I have given him Egypt(IQ) as a reward for his efforts because he and his army did it for me, declares the Sovereign Lord.(IR)
21 “On that day I will make a horn[n](IS) grow for the Israelites, and I will open your mouth(IT) among them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.(IU)”
A Lament Over Egypt
30 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘Wail(IV) and say,
“Alas for that day!”
3 For the day is near,(IW)
the day of the Lord(IX) is near—
a day of clouds,
a time of doom for the nations.
4 A sword will come against Egypt,(IY)
and anguish will come upon Cush.[o](IZ)
When the slain fall in Egypt,
her wealth will be carried away
and her foundations torn down.(JA)
5 Cush and Libya,(JB) Lydia and all Arabia,(JC) Kub and the people(JD) of the covenant land will fall by the sword along with Egypt.(JE)
6 “‘This is what the Lord says:
“‘The allies of Egypt will fall
and her proud strength will fail.
From Migdol to Aswan(JF)
they will fall by the sword within her,
declares the Sovereign Lord.
7 “‘They will be desolate
among desolate lands,
and their cities will lie
among ruined cities.(JG)
8 Then they will know that I am the Lord,
when I set fire(JH) to Egypt
and all her helpers are crushed.(JI)
9 “‘On that day messengers will go out from me in ships to frighten Cush(JJ) out of her complacency. Anguish(JK) will take hold of them on the day of Egypt’s doom, for it is sure to come.(JL)
10 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt
by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar(JM) king of Babylon.(JN)
11 He and his army—the most ruthless of nations(JO)—
will be brought in to destroy the land.
They will draw their swords against Egypt
and fill the land with the slain.(JP)
12 I will dry up(JQ) the waters of the Nile(JR)
and sell the land to an evil nation;
by the hand of foreigners
I will lay waste(JS) the land and everything in it.
I the Lord have spoken.
13 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘I will destroy the idols(JT)
and put an end to the images in Memphis.(JU)
No longer will there be a prince in Egypt,(JV)
and I will spread fear throughout the land.
14 I will lay(JW) waste Upper Egypt,
set fire to Zoan(JX)
and inflict punishment on Thebes.(JY)
15 I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium,
the stronghold of Egypt,
and wipe out the hordes of Thebes.
16 I will set fire(JZ) to Egypt;
Pelusium will writhe in agony.
Thebes will be taken by storm;
Memphis(KA) will be in constant distress.
17 The young men of Heliopolis(KB) and Bubastis
will fall by the sword,
and the cities themselves will go into captivity.
18 Dark will be the day at Tahpanhes(KC)
when I break the yoke of Egypt;(KD)
there her proud strength will come to an end.
She will be covered with clouds,
and her villages will go into captivity.(KE)
19 So I will inflict punishment(KF) on Egypt,
and they will know that I am the Lord.’”
Pharaoh’s Arms Are Broken
20 In the eleventh year, in the first month on the seventh day, the word of the Lord came to me:(KG) 21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm(KH) of Pharaoh(KI) king of Egypt. It has not been bound up to be healed(KJ) or put in a splint so that it may become strong enough to hold a sword. 22 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt.(KK) I will break both his arms, the good arm as well as the broken one, and make the sword fall from his hand.(KL) 23 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries.(KM) 24 I will strengthen(KN) the arms of the king of Babylon and put my sword(KO) in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan(KP) before him like a mortally wounded man. 25 I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall limp. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I put my sword(KQ) into the hand of the king of Babylon and he brandishes it against Egypt.(KR) 26 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries. Then they will know that I am the Lord.(KS)”
Pharaoh as a Felled Cedar of Lebanon
31 In the eleventh year,(KT) in the third month on the first day, the word of the Lord came to me:(KU) 2 “Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his hordes:
“‘Who can be compared with you in majesty?
3 Consider Assyria,(KV) once a cedar in Lebanon,(KW)
with beautiful branches overshadowing the forest;
it towered on high,
its top above the thick foliage.(KX)
4 The waters(KY) nourished it,
deep springs made it grow tall;
their streams flowed
all around its base
and sent their channels
to all the trees of the field.(KZ)
5 So it towered higher(LA)
than all the trees of the field;
its boughs increased
and its branches grew long,
spreading because of abundant waters.(LB)
6 All the birds of the sky
nested in its boughs,
all the animals of the wild
gave birth(LC) under its branches;
all the great nations
lived in its shade.(LD)
7 It was majestic in beauty,
with its spreading boughs,
for its roots went down
to abundant waters.(LE)
8 The cedars(LF) in the garden of God
could not rival it,
nor could the junipers
equal its boughs,
nor could the plane trees(LG)
compare with its branches—
no tree in the garden of God
could match its beauty.(LH)
9 I made it beautiful
with abundant branches,
the envy of all the trees of Eden(LI)
in the garden of God.(LJ)
10 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because the great cedar towered over the thick foliage, and because it was proud(LK) of its height, 11 I gave it into the hands of the ruler of the nations, for him to deal with according to its wickedness. I cast it aside,(LL) 12 and the most ruthless of foreign nations(LM) cut it down and left it. Its boughs fell on the mountains and in all the valleys;(LN) its branches lay broken in all the ravines of the land. All the nations of the earth came out from under its shade and left it.(LO) 13 All the birds settled on the fallen tree, and all the wild animals lived among its branches.(LP) 14 Therefore no other trees by the waters are ever to tower proudly on high, lifting their tops above the thick foliage. No other trees so well-watered are ever to reach such a height; they are all destined(LQ) for death,(LR) for the earth below, among mortals who go down to the realm of the dead.(LS)
15 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On the day it was brought down to the realm of the dead I covered the deep springs with mourning for it; I held back its streams, and its abundant waters were restrained. Because of it I clothed Lebanon with gloom, and all the trees of the field withered away.(LT) 16 I made the nations tremble(LU) at the sound of its fall when I brought it down to the realm of the dead to be with those who go down to the pit. Then all the trees(LV) of Eden,(LW) the choicest and best of Lebanon, the well-watered trees, were consoled(LX) in the earth below.(LY) 17 They too, like the great cedar, had gone down to the realm of the dead, to those killed by the sword,(LZ) along with the armed men who lived in its shade among the nations.
18 “‘Which of the trees of Eden can be compared with you in splendor and majesty? Yet you, too, will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the earth below; you will lie among the uncircumcised,(MA) with those killed by the sword.
“‘This is Pharaoh and all his hordes, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”
