31:1 In
the
eleventh
year,
in
the
third
month,
on
the
first
day
of
the
month,
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
me:
31:2 "Son
of
man,
say
to
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt
and
to
his
multitude:
"Whom
are
you
like
in
your
greatness
31:3 Behold,
Assyria
was
a
cedar
in
Lebanon,
with
beautiful
branches
and
forest
shade,
and
of
towering
height,
its
top
among
the
clouds.
31:4 The
waters
nourished
it;
the
deep
made
it
grow
tall,
making
its
rivers
flow
around
the
place
of
its
planting,
sending
forth
its
streams
to
all
the
trees
of
the
field.
31:5 So
it
towered
high
above
all
the
trees
of
the
field;
its
boughs
grew
large
and
its
branches
long
from
abundant
water
in
its
shoots.
31:6 All
the
birds
of
the
heavens
made
their
nests
in
its
boughs;
under
its
branches
all
the
beasts
of
the
field
gave
birth
to
their
young,
and
under
its
shadow
lived
all
great
nations.
31:7 It
was
beautiful
in
its
greatness,
in
the
length
of
its
branches;
for
its
roots
went
down
to
abundant
waters.
31:8 The
cedars
in
the
garden
of
God
could
not
rival
it,
nor
the
fir
trees
equal
its
boughs;
neither
were
the
plane
trees
like
its
branches;
no
tree
in
the
garden
of
God
was
its
equal
in
beauty.
31:9 I
made
it
beautiful
in
the
mass
of
its
branches,
and
all
the
trees
of
Eden
envied
it,
that
were
in
the
garden
of
God.
31:10 "Therefore
thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
Because
it
towered
high
and
set
its
top
among
the
clouds,
and
its
heart
was
proud
of
its
height,
31:11 I
will
give
it
into
the
hand
of
a
mighty
one
of
the
nations.
He
shall
surely
deal
with
it
as
its
wickedness
deserves.
I
have
cast
it
out.
31:12 Foreigners,
the
most
ruthless
of
nations,
have
cut
it
down
and
left
it.
On
the
mountains
and
in
all
the
valleys
its
branches
have
fallen,
and
its
boughs
have
been
broken
in
all
the
ravines
of
the
land,
and
all
the
peoples
of
the
earth
have
gone
away
from
its
shadow
and
left
it.
31:13 On
its
fallen
trunk
dwell
all
the
birds
of
the
heavens,
and
on
its
branches
are
all
the
beasts
of
the
field.
31:14 All
this
is
in
order
that
no
trees
by
the
waters
may
grow
to
towering
height
or
set
their
tops
among
the
clouds,
and
that
no
trees
that
drink
water
may
reach
up
to
them
in
height.
For
they
are
all
given
over
to
death,
to
the
world
below,
among
the
children
of
man,
with
those
who
go
down
to
the
pit.
31:15 "Thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
On
the
day
the
cedar
went
down
to
Sheol
I
caused
mourning;
I
closed
the
deep
over
it,
and
restrained
its
rivers,
and
many
waters
were
stopped.
I
clothed
Lebanon
in
gloom
for
it,
and
all
the
trees
of
the
field
fainted
because
of
it.
31:16 I
made
the
nations
quake
at
the
sound
of
its
fall,
when
I
cast
it
down
to
Sheol
with
those
who
go
down
to
the
pit.
And
all
the
trees
of
Eden,
the
choice
and
best
of
Lebanon,
all
that
drink
water,
were
comforted
in
the
world
below.
31:17 They
also
went
down
to
Sheol
with
it,
to
those
who
are
slain
by
the
sword;
yes,
those
who
were
its
arm,
who
lived
under
its
shadow
among
the
nations.
31:18 "Whom
are
you
thus
like
in
glory
and
in
greatness
among
the
trees
of
Eden
You
shall
be
brought
down
with
the
trees
of
Eden
to
the
world
below.
You
shall
lie
among
the
uncircumcised,
with
those
who
are
slain
by
the
sword.
"This
is
Pharaoh
and
all
his
multitude,
declares
the
Lord
GOD."
