[1]And in the twelfth year in the twelfth month, and in the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, |
| [2]'Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him: thou didst liken thyself unto a young lion of the nations; whereas thou art as a dragon in the seas; and thou didst gush forth with thy rivers, and didst trouble the waters with thy feet, and foul their rivers. |

| [3]Thus saith the Lord 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇: I will therefore spread out My net over thee with a company of many peoples; and they shall bring thee up in My net. |
[3]Thus saith the Lord God, I will therefore spread my net over thee with a great multitude of people, and they shall make thee come up into my net. |
| [4]And I will cast thee upon the land, I will hurl thee upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to settle upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee. |
[4]Then will I leave thee upon the land, and I will cast thee upon the open field, and I will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill all the beasts of the field with thee. |
| [5]And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy foulness. |
[5]And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thine height. |
| [6]I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the channels shall be full of thee. |
[6]I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains, and the rivers shall be full of thee. |
| [7]And when I shall extinguish thee, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof black; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light. |
[7]And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark: I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light. |
| [8]All the bright lights of heaven will I make black over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
[8]All the lights of heaven will I make dark for thee, and bring darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord God. |
| [9]I will also vex the hearts of many peoples, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known. |
[9]I will also trouble the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations and upon the countries which thou hast not known. |

| [12]By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall; the terrible of the nations are they all; and they shall spoil the pride of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed. |
[12]By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall: they all shall be terrible nations, and they shall destroy the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be consumed. |
| [13]I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside many waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them. |
[13]I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from the great watersides, neither shall the foot of man trouble them anymore, nor the hooves of beast trouble them. |
| [14]Then will I make their waters to settle, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
[14]Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord God. |
| [15]When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
[15]When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country with all that is therein, shall be laid waste: when I shall smite all them which dwell therein, then shall they know that I am the Lord. |
| [16]This is lamentation wherewith they shall lament; the daughters of the nations shall lament therewith; for Egypt, and for all her multitude, shall they lament therewith, saith the Lord 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇.' |
[16]This is the mourning wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord God. |
