31:1 And it came to pass in the eleventh 259 6240 year 8141, in the third 7992 [month], in the first 259 [day] of the month 2320, [that] the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying 559 8800,

31:2 Son 1121 of man 120, speak 559 8798 unto Pharaoh 6547 king 4428 of Egypt 4714, and to his multitude 1995; Whom art thou like 1819 8804 in thy greatness 1433?

31:3 Behold, the Assyrian 804 [was] a cedar 730 in Lebanon 3844 with fair 3303 branches 6057, and with a shadowing 6751 8688 shroud 2793, and of an high 1362 stature 6967; and his top 6788 was among the thick boughs 5688.(with fair branches: Heb. fair of branches)

31:4 The waters 4325 made him great 1431 8765, the deep 8415 set him up on high 7311 8790 with her rivers 5104 running 1980 8802 round about 5439 his plants 4302, and sent out 7971 8765 her little rivers 8585 unto all the trees 6086 of the field 7704.(made…: or, nourished him)(set…: or, brought him up)(little rivers: or, conduits)

31:5 Therefore his height 6967 was exalted 1361 8804 above all the trees 6086 of the field 7704, and his boughs 5634 were multiplied 7235 8799, and his branches 6288 became long 748 8799 because of the multitude 7227 of waters 4325, when he shot forth 7971 8763.(when…: or, when it sent them forth)

31:6 All the fowls 5775 of heaven 8064 made their nests 7077 8765 in his boughs 5589, and under his branches 6288 did all the beasts 2416 of the field 7704 bring forth their young 3205 8804, and under his shadow 6738 dwelt 3427 8799 all great 7227 nations 1471.

31:7 Thus was he fair 3302 8799 in his greatness 1433, in the length 753 of his branches 1808: for his root 8328 was by great 7227 waters 4325.

31:8 The cedars 730 in the garden 1588 of God 430 could not hide 6004 8804 him: the fir trees 1265 were not like 1819 8804 his boughs 5589, and the chesnut trees 6196 were not like his branches 6288; nor any tree 6086 in the garden 1588 of God 430 was like 1819 8804 unto him in his beauty 3308.

31:9 I have made 6213 8804 him fair 3303 by the multitude 7230 of his branches 1808: so that all the trees 6086 of Eden 5731, that [were] in the garden 1588 of God 430, envied 7065 8762 him.

31:10 Therefore thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Because thou hast lifted up 1361 8804 thyself in height 6967, and he hath shot up 5414 8799 his top 6788 among the thick boughs 5688, and his heart 3824 is lifted up 7311 8804 in his height 1363;

31:11 I have therefore delivered 5414 8799 him into the hand 3027 of the mighty one 410 of the heathen 1471; he shall surely 6213 8800 deal 6213 8799 with him: I have driven him out 1644 8765 for his wickedness 7562.(he…: Heb. in doing he shall do unto him)

31:12 And strangers 2114 8801, the terrible 6184 of the nations 1471, have cut him off 3772 8799, and have left 5203 8799 him: upon the mountains 2022 and in all the valleys 1516 his branches 1808 are fallen 5307 8804, and his boughs 6288 are broken 7665 8735 by all the rivers 650 of the land 776; and all the people 5971 of the earth 776 are gone down 3381 8799 from his shadow 6738, and have left 5203 8799 him.

31:13 Upon his ruin 4658 shall all the fowls 5775 of the heaven 8064 remain 7931 8799, and all the beasts 2416 of the field 7704 shall be upon his branches 6288:

31:14 To the end that none of all the trees 6086 by the waters 4325 exalt 1361 8799 themselves for their height 6967, neither shoot up 5414 8799 their top 6788 among the thick boughs 5688, neither their trees 352 stand up 5975 8799 in their height 1363, all that drink 8354 8802 water 4325: for they are all delivered 5414 8738 unto death 4194, to the nether parts 8482 of the earth 776, in the midst 8432 of the children 1121 of men 120, with them that go down 3381 8802 to the pit 953.(their trees…: or, stand upon themselves for their height)

31:15 Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; In the day 3117 when he went down 3381 8800 to the grave 7585 I caused a mourning 56 8689: I covered 3680 8765 the deep 8415 for him, and I restrained 4513 8799 the floods 5104 thereof, and the great 7227 waters 4325 were stayed 3607 8735: and I caused Lebanon 3844 to mourn 6937 8686 for him, and all the trees 6086 of the field 7704 fainted 5969 for him.(to mourn: Heb. to be black)

31:16 I made the nations 1471 to shake 7493 8689 at the sound 6963 of his fall 4658, when I cast him down 3381 8687 to hell 7585 with them that descend 3381 8802 into the pit 953: and all the trees 6086 of Eden 5731, the choice 4005 and best 2896 of Lebanon 3844, all that drink 8354 8802 water 4325, shall be comforted 5162 8735 in the nether parts 8482 of the earth 776.

31:17 They also went down 3381 8804 into hell 7585 with him unto [them that be] slain 2491 with the sword 2719; and [they that were] his arm 2220, [that] dwelt 3427 8804 under his shadow 6738 in the midst 8432 of the heathen 1471.

31:18 To whom art thou thus like 1819 8804 in glory 3519 and in greatness 1433 among the trees 6086 of Eden 5731? yet shalt thou be brought down 3381 8717 with the trees 6086 of Eden 5731 unto the nether parts 8482 of the earth 776: thou shalt lie 7901 8799 in the midst 8432 of the uncircumcised 6189 with [them that be] slain 2491 by the sword 2719. This [is] Pharaoh 6547 and all his multitude 1995, saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069.
