1 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD [Yahweh] came to me, saying,
2 Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him, You are like a young lion of the nations, and you [are] as a whale in the seas: and you came forth with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and fouled their rivers.
3 Thus says the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net over you with a company of many people; and they will bring you up in my net.
4 Then will I leave you upon the land, I will cast you forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon you, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with you.
5 And I will lay your flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.
6 I will also water with your blood the land in which you swim, [even] to the mountains; and the rivers will be full of you.
7 And when I will put you out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars of it dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give her light.
8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over you, and set darkness upon your land, says the Lord GOD.
9 I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I will bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.
10 Yes, I will make many people amazed at you, and their kings will be horribly afraid for you, when I will brandish my sword before them; and they will tremble at [every] moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.
11 For thus says the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon will come upon you.
12 By the swords of the mighty will I cause your multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them: and they will spoil the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude of it will be destroyed.
13 I will destroy also all the beasts of it from beside the great waters; neither will the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them.
14 Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, says the Lord GOD.
15 When I will make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country will be destitute of that of which it was full, when I will smite all them that dwell therein, then will they know that I [am] the LORD [Yahweh].
16 This [is] the lamentation with which they will lament her: the daughters of the nations will lament her: they will lament for her, [even] for Egypt, and for all her multitude, says the Lord GOD.
17 It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD [Yahweh] came to me, saying,
18 Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, [even] her, and the daughters of the famous nations, to the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.

24 There [is] Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.
25 They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves [are] round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of [them that be] slain.
