Ezekiel 31

1 And it was in one [plus] ten year in the third [month] on [day] one of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

And in the eleuenth yeere, in the third moneth, and in the first day of the moneth the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

2 O son of humankind say to Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and to multitude his whom? are you like in greatness your.

Sonne of man, speake vnto Pharaoh King of Egypt, and to his multitude, Whom art thou like in thy greatnesse?

3 There! Assyria [was] a cedar in Lebanon beautiful of branch[es] and forest giving shade and tall of height and between branches it was treetop its.

Beholde, Asshur was like a cedar in Lebanon with faire branches, and with thicke shadowing boughes, and shot vp very hye, and his toppe was among the thicke boughes.

4 Waters they made grow it [the] deep it raised up it rivers its going around planting place its and channels its it sent out to all [the] trees of the field.

The waters nourished him, and the deepe exalted him on hie with her riuers running round about his plants, and sent out her litle riuers vnto all the trees of the fielde.

5 There-fore it was tall height its more than all [the] trees of the field and they became great boughs its and they became long (branches its *Q(K)*) from waters many when sent out it.

Therefore his height was exalted aboue all the trees of the fielde, and his boughes were multiplied, and his branches were long, because of the multitude of the waters, which the deepe sent out.

6 In boughs its they made nests every bird of the heavens and under branches its they gave birth every animal of the field and in shade its they dwelt all nations great.

All the foules of the heauen made their nestes in his boughes, and vnder his branches did all the beastes of the fielde bring foorth their yong, and vnder his shadowe dwelt all mightie nations.

7 And it was beautiful in greatness its in [the] length of branches its for it was root its to waters many.

Thus was he faire in his greatnesse, and in the length of his branches: for his roote was neere great waters.

8 Cedars not they eclipsed it in [the] garden of God fir trees not they were like boughs its and plane trees not they were like branches its every tree in [the] garden of God not it was like it in beauty its.

The cedars in the garden of God coulde not hide him: no firre tree was like his branches, and the chessenut trees were not like his boughes: all the trees in the garden of God were not like vnto him in his beautie.

9 Beautiful I made it in [the] abundance of branches its and they envied it all [the] trees of Eden which [were] in [the] garden of God.

I made him faire by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, enuied him.

10 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because that you were tall in height and it set treetop its to between branches and it was lifted up heart its in height its.

Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Because he is lift vp on high, and hath shot vp his toppe among the thicke boughes, and his heart is lift vp in his height,

11 And I will give it in [the] hand of a leader of nations certainly he will do to it according to wickedness its I drove out it.

I haue therefore deliuered him into the handes of the mightiest among the heathen: he shall handle him, for I haue cast him away for his wickednesse.

12 And they cut down it strangers ruthless [ones] of nations and they abandoned it to the mountains and in all [the] valleys they fell branches its and they were broken branches its in all [the] ravines of the land and they went down from shade its all [the] peoples of the earth and they abandoned it.

And the strangers haue destroyed him, euen the terrible nations, and they haue left him vpon the mountaines, and in all the valleis his branches are fallen, and his boughes are broken by all the riuers of the land: and all the people of the earth are departed from his shadowe, and haue forsaken him.

13 On fallen trunk its they dwelt every bird of the heavens and to branches its they came every animal of the field.

Vpon his ruine shall all the foules of the heauen remaine, and all the beastes of the fielde shall be vpon his branches,

14 So that that not they may be lifted up in height their any trees of water and not they may set treetop their to between branches and not they may stand leaders their by height their any drinkers of water for all of them they have been given to death to [the] earth lowest in among [the] children of humankind to [those who] go down of [the] pit.

So that none of all the trees by the waters shalbe exalted by their height, neither shall shoote vp their toppe among the thicke boughes, neither shall their leaues stand vp in their height, which drinke so much water: for they are all deliuered vnto death in the nether partes of the earth in the middes of the children of men among them that goe downe to the pit.

15 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh on [the] day went down it Sheol towards I caused mourning I covered over it [the] deep and I withheld rivers its and they were restrained waters many and I made mourn on it Lebanon and all [the] trees of the field on it [were] wilted. (Sheol h7585)

Thus saith the Lord God, In the day when he went downe to hell, I caused them to mourne, and I couered the deepe for him, and I did restreine the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: I caused Lebanon to mourne for him, and all the trees of the fielde fainted. (Sheol h7585)

16 From [the] sound of downfall its I caused to tremble nations when brought down I it Sheol towards with [those who] go down of [the] pit and they were comforted in [the] earth lowest all [the] trees of Eden [the] choicest and [the] good of Lebanon all drinkers of water. (Sheol h7585)

I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him downe to hell with them that descend into the pit, and all the excellent trees of Eden, and the best of Lebanon: euen all that are nourished with waters, shall be comforted in the nether partes of the earth. (Sheol h7585)

17 Also they with it they went down Sheol towards to [those] slain of a sword and arm its [which] they dwelt in shade its in among [the] nations. (Sheol h7585)

They also went downe to hell with him vnto them that be slaine with the sworde, and his arme, and they that dwelt vnder his shadowe in the middes of the heathen. (Sheol h7585)

18 Whom? are you like thus in splendor and in greatness among [the] trees of Eden and you will be brought down with [the] trees of Eden to [the] earth lowest in among uncircumcised [men] you will lie with [those] slain of a sword that [is] Pharaoh and all (multitude his *Q(K)*) [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

To whom art thou thus like in glorie and in greatnesse among the trees of Eden? yet thou shalt be cast downe with the trees of Eden vnto the nether partes of the earth: thou shalt sleepe in the middes of the vncircumcised, with them that be slaine by the sworde: this is Pharaoh and all his multitude, sayth the Lord God.
