Ezekiel 31 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Pharaoh Warned of Assyria's Fate

(cf. Eze 17:22–24 )

Eze 31:1It happened in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Eze 31:2

Eze 31:2Son of man, tell Par`oh king of Mitzrayim, and to his multitude: Whom are you like in your greatness?

Eze 31:3

Eze 31:3Behold, the Ashshur was a cedar in Levanon with beautiful branches, and with a forest-like shade, and of high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs.

Eze 31:4

Eze 31:4The waters nourished it, the deep made it to grow: the rivers of it ran round about its plantation; and it sent out its channels to all the trees of the field.

Eze 31:5

Eze 31:5Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it shot them forth.

Eze 31:6

Eze 31:6All the birds of the sky made their nests in its boughs; and under its branches did all the animals of the field bring forth their young; and under its shadow lived all great nations.

Eze 31:7

Eze 31:7Thus was it beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters.

Eze 31:8

Eze 31:8The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the fir trees were not like its boughs, and the plane trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like it in its beauty.

Eze 31:9

Eze 31:9I made it beautiful by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of `Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.

Eze 31:10

Eze 31:10Therefore thus said the Lord GOD: Because you are exalted in stature, and he has set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;

Eze 31:11

Eze 31:11I will even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him; I have driven him out for his wickedness.

Eze 31:12

Eze 31:12Strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: on the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the eretz are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.

Eze 31:13

Eze 31:13On his ruin all the birds of the sky shall dwell, and all the animals of the field shall be on his branches;

Eze 31:14

Eze 31:14to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up on their height, even all who drink water: for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the eretz, in the midst of the children of men, with those who go down to the pit.

Eze 31:15

Eze 31:15Thus says the Lord GOD: In the day when he went down to She'ol I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the rivers of it; and the great waters were stayed; and I caused Levanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.

Eze 31:16

Eze 31:16I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to She'ol with those who descend into the pit; and all the trees of `Eden, the choice and best of Levanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the lower parts of the eretz.

Eze 31:17

Eze 31:17They also went down into She'ol with him to those who are slain by the sword; yes, those who were his arm, that lived under his shadow in the midst of the nations.

Eze 31:18

Eze 31:18To whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of `Eden? yet shall you be brought down with the trees of `Eden to the lower parts of the eretz: you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. This is Par`oh and all his multitude, says the Lord GOD.
