1 | It happened in the eleventh year, in the third [month], in the first [day] of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, | Ezk 1:2 Ezk 30:20 Jer 52:5 Jer 52:6 |
2 | Son of man, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: Whom are you like in your greatness? | Jer 1:5 Jer 1:17 Rev 10:11 |
3 | Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches, and with a forest-like shade, and of high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs. | Nah 3:1-19 Zep 2:13 |
4 | The 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. | Ezk 17:5 Ezk 17:8 Pr 14:28 Jer 51:36 Rev 17:1 Rev 17:15 |
5 | Therefore 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. | Ps 37:35 Ps 37:36 Isa 10:8-14 Isa 36:4 Isa 36:18 Isa 36:19 Isa 37:11-13 Dn 4:11 |
6 | All 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. | Ezk 17:23 Dn 4:12 Dn 4:21 Mt 13:32 |
7 | Thus was it beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters. |
8 | The 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. | Ezk 28:13 Gn 2:8 Gn 13:10 Ps 80:10 Isa 51:3 |
9 | I 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. | Ezk 16:14 Ex 9:16 Ps 75:6 Ps 75:7 Dn 2:21 Dn 2:37 Dn 2:38 Dn 4:22-25 Dn 5:20-23 |
10 | Therefore thus said the Lord Yahweh: 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; | Mt 23:12 |
11 | I 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. | Ezk 11:9 Ezk 21:31 Ezk 23:28 Jg 16:23 1Ti 1:20 |
12 | Strangers, 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 earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him. | Ezk 28:7 Ezk 30:11 Hab 1:6 Hab 1:11 |
13 | On his ruin all the birds of the sky shall dwell, and all the animals of the field shall be on his branches; | Ezk 29:5 Ezk 32:4 Isa 18:6 Rev 19:17 Rev 19:18 |
14 | to 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 nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with those who go down to the pit. | Dt 13:11 Dt 21:21 Ne 13:18 Dn 4:32 Dn 5:22 Dn 5:23 1Co 10:11 2Pe 2:6 |
15 | Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In the day when he went down to Sheol 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 Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. | Nah 2:8-10 Rev 18:9-11 Rev 18:18-11 Rev 18:19-11 |
16 | I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol with those who descend into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the nether parts of the earth. | Ezk 26:10 Ezk 26:15 Ezk 27:28 Nah 2:3 Hg 2:7 Heb 12:26 Heb 12:27 Rev 11:13 Rev 18:9-24 |
17 | They also went down into Sheol 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. | Ezk 32:20-30 Ps 9:17 Isa 14:9 |
18 | To 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 nether parts of the earth: you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord Yahweh. | Ezk 31:2 Ezk 32:19 |
