Ezek.30.1

GOD, the Master, spoke to me:

Ezek.30.1

The word of the LORD came to me:

Ezek.30.1

The word of the LORD came to me again, saying,

Ezek.30.1

This is another message that came to me from the LORD:

Ezek.30.2

"Son of man, preach. Give them the Message of GOD, the Master. Wail:

Ezek.30.2

"Son of man, prophesy and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "'Wail and say, "Alas for that day!"

Ezek.30.2

"Son of man, prophesy and say, "Thus says the Lord GOD: "Wail, "Woe to the day!'

Ezek.30.2

"Son of man, prophesy and give this message from the Sovereign LORD: Weep,

Ezek.30.3

Doomsday!' Time's up! GOD's big day of judgment is near. Thick clouds are rolling in. It's doomsday for the nations.

Ezek.30.3

For the day is near, the day of the LORD is near- a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations.

Ezek.30.3

For the day is near, Even the day of the LORD is near; It will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles.

Ezek.30.3

for the terrible day is almost here--the day of the LORD! It is a day of clouds and gloom, a day of despair for the nations!

Ezek.30.4

Death will rain down on Egypt. Terror will paralyze Ethiopia When they see the Egyptians killed, their wealth hauled off, their foundations demolished,

Ezek.30.4

A sword will come against Egypt, and anguish will come upon Cush. When the slain fall in Egypt, her wealth will be carried away and her foundations torn down.

Ezek.30.4

The sword shall come upon Egypt, And great anguish shall be in Ethiopia, When the slain fall in Egypt, And they take away her wealth, And her foundations are broken down.

Ezek.30.4

A sword will come against Egypt, and those who are slaughtered will cover the ground. Their wealth will be carried away and their foundations destroyed. The land of Ethiopia will be ravished.

Ezek.30.5

And Ethiopia, Put, Lud, Arabia, Libya -all of Egypt's old allies--killed right along with them.

Ezek.30.5

Cush and Put, Lydia and all Arabia, Libya and the people of the covenant land will fall by the sword along with Egypt.

GOD says: Egypt's allies will fall and her proud strength will collapse--From Migdol in the north to Syene in the south, a great slaughter in Egypt! Decree of GOD, the Master.

Egypt, most desolate of the desolate, her cities wasted beyond wasting,

Ezek.30.7

"'They will be desolate among desolate lands, and their cities will lie among ruined cities.

Ezek.30.7

"They shall be desolate in the midst of the desolate countries, And her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are laid waste.

Ezek.30.7

Egypt will be desolate, surrounded by desolate nations, and its cities will be in ruins, surrounded by other ruined cities.

Will realize that I am GOD when I burn her down and her helpers are knocked flat.

Ezek.30.8

Then they will know that I am the LORD, When I have set a fire in Egypt And all her helpers are destroyed.

Ezek.30.8

And the people of Egypt will know that I am the LORD when I have set Egypt on fire and destroyed all their allies.

Ezek.30.9

When that happens, I'll send out messengers by ship to sound the alarm among the easygoing Ethiopians. They'll be terrorized. Egypt's doomed! Judgment's coming!

Ezek.30.9

"'On that day messengers will go out from me in ships to frighten Cush out of her complacency. Anguish will take hold of them on the day of Egypt's doom, for it is sure to come.

Ezek.30.9

On that day messengers shall go forth from Me in ships To make the careless Ethiopians afraid, And great anguish shall come upon them, As on the day of Egypt; For indeed it is coming!"

Ezek.30.9

At that time I will send swift messengers in ships to terrify the complacent Ethiopians. Great panic will come upon them on that day of Egypt's certain destruction.

Ezek.30.10

GOD, the Master, says: I'll put a stop to Egypt's arrogance. I'll use Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to do it.

"'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "'I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

Ezek.30.10

"Thus says the Lord GOD: "I will also make a multitude of Egypt to cease By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

Ezek.30.12

I'll dry up the Nile and sell off the land to a bunch of crooks. I'll hire outsiders to come in and waste the country, strip it clean. I, GOD, have said so.

I will dry up the streams of the Nile and sell the land to evil men; by the hand of foreigners I will lay waste the land and everything in it. I the LORD have spoken.

Ezek.30.12

I will dry up the Nile River and hand the land over to wicked men. I will destroy the land of Egypt and everything in it, using foreigners to do it. I, the LORD, have spoken!

Ezek.30.13

And now this is what GOD, the Master, says: I'll smash all the no-god idols; I'll topple all those huge statues in Memphis. The prince of Egypt will be gone for good, and in his place I'll put fear--fear throughout Egypt!

Ezek.30.13

"'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "'I will destroy the idols and put an end to the images in Memphis. No longer will there be a prince in Egypt, and I will spread fear throughout the land.

Ezek.30.13

Ezek.30.16

I'll set Egypt on fire: Pelusium will writhe in pain, Thebes blown away, Memphis raped.

Ezek.30.16

I will set fire to Egypt; Pelusium will writhe in agony. Thebes will be taken by storm; Memphis will be in constant distress.

Ezek.30.16

And set a fire in Egypt; Sin shall have great pain, No shall be split open, And Noph shall be in distress daily.

Ezek.30.16

Yes, I will set fire to all Egypt! Pelusium will be racked with pain; Thebes will be torn apart; Memphis will live in constant terror.

Ezek.30.17

The young warriors of On and Pi-beseth will be killed and the cities exiled.

Ezek.30.19

That's how I'll punish Egypt, and that's how she'll realize that I am GOD.'" [JC]

Ezek.30.19

So I will inflict punishment on Egypt, and they will know that I am the LORD.'"

Ezek.30.19

Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt, Then they shall know that I am the LORD.""'

Ezek.30.19

And so I will greatly punish Egypt, and they will know that I am the LORD."

Ezek.30.20

In the eleventh year, on the seventh day of the first month, GOD's Message came to me:

Ezek.30.20

In the eleventh year, in the first month on the seventh day, the word of the LORD came to me:

Ezek.30.20

And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Ezek.30.20

On April 29, during the eleventh year of King Jehoiachin's captivity, this message came to me from the LORD:

Ezek.30.21

"Son of man, I've broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And look! It hasn't been set. No splint has been put on it so the bones can knit and heal, so he can use a sword again.

Ezek.30.21

"Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. It has not been bound up for healing or put in a splint so as to become strong enough to hold a sword.

Ezek.30.21

"Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and see, it has not been bandaged for healing, nor a splint put on to bind it, to make it strong enough to hold a sword.

Ezek.30.21

"Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. His arm has not been put in a cast so that it may heal. Neither has it been bound up with a splint to make it strong enough to hold a sword.

Ezek.30.22

"Therefore, GOD, the Master, says, I am dead set against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will go ahead and break his other arm--both arms broken! There's no way he'll ever swing a sword again.

Ezek.30.22

Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt. I will break both his arms, the good arm as well as the broken one, and make the sword fall from his hand.

Ezek.30.22

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Surely I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, both the strong one and the one that was broken; and I will make the sword fall out of his hand.

Ezek.30.22

Therefore, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am the enemy of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt! I will break both of his arms--the good arm along with the broken one--and I will make his sword clatter to the ground.

Ezek.30.23

I'll scatter Egyptians all over the world.

Ezek.30.23

I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries.

Ezek.30.23

I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them throughout the countries.

Ezek.30.23

I will scatter the Egyptians to many lands throughout the world.

Ezek.30.24

I'll make the arms of the king of Babylon strong and put my sword in his hand, but I'll break the arms of Pharaoh and he'll groan like one who is mortally wounded.

Ezek.30.24

I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put my sword in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan before him like a mortally wounded man.

Ezek.30.24

I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put My sword in his hand; but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he will groan before him with the groanings of a mortally wounded man.

Ezek.30.24

I will strengthen the arms of Babylon's king and put my sword in his hand. But I will break the arms of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he will lie there mortally wounded, groaning in pain.

Ezek.30.25

I'll make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, but the arms of Pharaoh shall go limp. The Egyptians will realize that I am GOD when I place my sword in the hand of the king of Babylon. He'll wield it against Egypt

Ezek.30.25

I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall limp. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he brandishes it against Egypt.

Ezek.30.25

Thus I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; they shall know that I am the LORD, when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he stretches it out against the land of Egypt.

Ezek.30.25

I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, while the arms of Pharaoh fall useless to his sides. And when I put my sword in the hand of Babylon's king and he brings it against the land of Egypt, Egypt will know that I am the LORD.

Ezek.30.26

and I'll scatter Egyptians all over the world. Then they'll realize that I am GOD."

Ezek.30.26

I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries. Then they will know that I am the LORD."

Ezek.30.26

I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries. Then they shall know that I am the LORD."'

Ezek.30.26

I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD."

Ezek.31.1

In the eleventh year, on the first day of the third month, GOD's Message came to me:

Ezek.31.1

In the eleventh year, in the third month on the first day, the word of the LORD came to me:

Ezek.31.1

Now it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Ezek.31.1

On June 21, during the eleventh year of King Jehoiachin's captivity, this message came to me from the LORD:

Ezek.31.2

"Son of man, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt, that pompous old goat: Who do you, astride the world, think you really are?

Ezek.31.2

"Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his hordes: "'Who can be compared with you in majesty?

Ezek.31.2

"Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his multitude: "Whom are you like in your greatness?

Ezek.31.2

"Son of man, give this message to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and all his people: To whom would you compare your greatness?

Ezek.31.3

Look! Assyria was a Big Tree, huge as a Lebanon cedar, beautiful limbs offering cool shade, Skyscraper high, piercing the clouds.

Ezek.31.3

Consider Assyria, once a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches overshadowing the forest; it towered on high, its top above the thick foliage.

Ezek.31.3

Indeed Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon, With fine branches that shaded the forest, And of high stature; And its top was among the thick boughs.

Ezek.31.3

You are as Assyria was--a great and mighty nation. Assyria, too, was once like a cedar of Lebanon, full of thick branches that cast deep forest shade with its top high among the clouds.

Ezek.31.4

The waters gave it drink, the primordial deep lifted it high, Gushing out rivers around the place where it was planted, And then branching out in streams to all the trees in the forest.

Ezek.31.4

The waters nourished it, deep springs made it grow tall; their streams flowed all around its base and sent their channels to all the trees of the field.

Ezek.31.4

The waters made it grow; Underground waters gave it height, With their rivers running around the place where it was planted, And sent out rivulets to all the trees of the field.

Ezek.31.4

Deep springs watered it and helped it to grow tall and luxuriant. The water was so abundant that there was enough for all the trees nearby.

Ezek.31.5

It was immense, dwarfing all the trees in the forest--Thick boughs, long limbs, roots delving deep into earth's waters.

Ezek.31.5

So it towered higher than all the trees of the field; its boughs increased and its branches grew long, spreading because of abundant waters.

Ezek.31.5

"Therefore its height was exalted above all the trees of the field; Its boughs were multiplied, And its branches became long because of the abundance of water, As it sent them out.

Ezek.31.5

This great tree towered above all the other trees around it. It prospered and grew long thick branches because of all the water at its roots.

Ezek.31.6

All the birds of the air nested in its boughs. All the wild animals gave birth under its branches. All the mighty nations lived in its shade.

Ezek.31.6

All the birds of the air nested in its boughs, all the beasts of the field gave birth under its branches; all the great nations lived in its shade.

Ezek.31.6

All the birds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs; Under its branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young; And in its shadow all great nations made their home.

Ezek.31.6

The birds nested in its branches, and in its shade all the wild animals gave birth to their young. All the great nations of the world lived in its shadow.

Ezek.31.7

It was stunning in its majesty--the reach of its branches! the depth of its water-seeking roots!

Ezek.31.7

It was majestic in beauty, with its spreading boughs, for its roots went down to abundant waters.

Ezek.31.7

"Thus it was beautiful in greatness and in the length of its branches, Because its roots reached to abundant waters.

Ezek.31.7

It was strong and beautiful, for its roots went deep into abundant water.

Ezek.31.8

Not a cedar in God's garden came close to it. No pine tree was anything like it. Mighty oaks looked like bushes growing alongside it. Not a tree in God's garden was in the same class of beauty.

Ezek.31.8

The cedars in the garden of God could not rival it, nor could the pine trees equal its boughs, nor could the plane trees compare with its branches- no tree in the garden of God could match its beauty.

Ezek.31.8

The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; The fir trees were not like its boughs, And the chestnut trees were not like its branches; No tree in the garden of God was like it in beauty.

Ezek.31.8

This tree became taller than any of the other cedars in the garden of God. No cypress had branches equal to it; no plane tree had boughs to compare. No tree in the garden of God came close to it in beauty.

Ezek.31.9

I made it beautiful, a work of art in limbs and leaves, The envy of every tree in Eden, every last tree in God's garden.'"

Ezek.31.9

I made it beautiful with abundant branches, the envy of all the trees of Eden in the garden of God.

Ezek.31.9

I made it beautiful with a multitude of branches, So that all the trees of Eden envied it, That were in the garden of God.'

Ezek.31.9

Because of the magnificence I gave this tree, it was the envy of all the other trees of Eden, the garden of God.

Ezek.31.10

Therefore, GOD, the Master, says, Because it skyscrapered upwards, piercing the clouds, swaggering and proud of its stature,

Ezek.31.10

"'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because it towered on high, lifting its top above the thick foliage, and because it was proud of its height,

Ezek.31.10

"Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Because you have increased in height, and it set its top among the thick boughs, and its heart was lifted up in its height,

Ezek.31.10

"Therefore, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because it became proud and arrogant, and because it set itself so high above the others, reaching to the clouds,

Ezek.31.11

I turned it over to a world-famous leader to call its evil to account. I'd had enough.

Ezek.31.11

I handed it over to the ruler of the nations, for him to deal with according to its wickedness. I cast it aside,

Ezek.31.11

therefore I will deliver it into the hand of the mighty one of the nations, and he shall surely deal with it; I have driven it out for its wickedness.

Ezek.31.11

I handed it over to a mighty nation that destroyed it as its wickedness deserved. I myself discarded it.

Ezek.31.12

Outsiders, unbelievably brutal, felled it across the mountain ranges. Its branches were strewn through all the valleys, its leafy boughs clogging all the streams and rivers. Because its shade was gone, everybody walked off. No longer a tree--just a log.

Ezek.31.12

and the most ruthless of foreign nations cut it down and left it. Its boughs fell on the mountains and in all the valleys; its branches lay broken in all the ravines of the land. All the nations of the earth came out from under its shade and left it.

Ezek.31.12

And aliens, the most terrible of the nations, have cut it down and left it; its branches have fallen on the mountains and in all the valleys; its boughs lie broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the peoples of the earth have gone from under its shadow and left it.

Ezek.31.12

A foreign army--the terror of the nations--cut it down and left it fallen on the ground. Its branches were scattered across the mountains and valleys and ravines of the land. All those who lived beneath its shadow went away and left it lying there.

Ezek.31.13

On that dead log birds perch. Wild animals burrow under it.

Ezek.31.13

All the birds of the air settled on the fallen tree, and all the beasts of the field were among its branches.

Ezek.31.13

"On its ruin will remain all the birds of the heavens, And all the beasts of the field will come to its branches--

Ezek.31.13

The birds roosted on its fallen trunk, and the wild animals lay among its branches.

Ezek.31.14

That marks the end of the "big tree" nations. No more trees nourished from the great deep, no more cloud-piercing trees, no more earth- born trees taking over. They're all slated for death--back to earth, right along with men and women, for whom it's "dust to dust."

Ezek.31.14

Therefore no other trees by the waters are ever to tower proudly on high, lifting their tops above the thick foliage. No other trees so well-watered are ever to reach such a height; they are all destined for death, for the earth below, among mortal men, with those who go down to the pit.

Ezek.31.14

"So that no trees by the waters may ever again exalt themselves for their height, nor set their tops among the thick boughs, that no tree which drinks water may ever be high enough to reach up to them. "For they have all been delivered to death, To the depths of the earth, Among the children of men who go down to the Pit.'

Ezek.31.14

Let no other nation proudly exult in its own prosperity, though it be higher than the clouds, for all are doomed. They will land in the pit along with all the proud people of the world.

Ezek.31.15

The Message of GOD, the Master: On the day of the funeral of the Big Tree, I threw the great deep into mourning. I stopped the flow of its rivers, held back great seas, and wrapped the Lebanon mountains in black. All the trees of the forest fainted and fell.

Ezek.31.15

"'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: On the day it was brought down to the grave I covered the deep springs with mourning for it; I held back its streams, and its abundant waters were restrained. Because of it I clothed Lebanon with gloom, and all the trees of the field withered away.

Ezek.31.15

"Thus says the Lord GOD: "In the day when it went down to hell, I caused mourning. I covered the deep because of it. I restrained its rivers, and the great waters were held back. I caused Lebanon to mourn for it, and all the trees of the field wilted because of it.

Ezek.31.15

"This is what the Sovereign LORD says: When Assyria went down into the grave, I made the deep places mourn, and I restrained the mighty waters. I clothed Lebanon in black and caused the trees of the field to wilt.

Ezek.31.16

I made the whole world quake when it crashed, and threw it into the underworld to take its place with all else that gets buried. All the trees of Eden and the finest and best trees of Lebanon, well-watered, were relieved

Ezek.31.16

I made the nations tremble at the sound of its fall when I brought it down to the grave with those who go down to the pit. Then all the trees of Eden, the choicest and best of Lebanon, all the trees that were well-watered, were consoled in the earth below.

Ezek.31.16

I made the nations shake at the sound of its fall, when I cast it down to hell together 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 depths of the earth.

Ezek.31.16

I made the nations shake with fear at the sound of its fall, for I sent it down to the grave with all the others like it. And all the other proud trees of Eden, the most beautiful and the best of Lebanon, the ones whose roots went deep into the water, were relieved to find it there with them in the pit.

Ezek.31.17

-they had descended to the underworld with it--along with everyone who had lived in its shade and all who had been killed.

Ezek.31.17

Those who lived in its shade, its allies among the nations, had also gone down to the grave with it, joining those killed by the sword.

Ezek.31.17

They also went down to hell with it, with those slain by the sword; and those who were its strong arm dwelt in its shadows among the nations.

Ezek.31.17

Its allies, too, were all destroyed and had passed away. They had gone down to the grave--all those nations that had lived in its shade.

Ezek.31.18

Which of the trees of Eden came anywhere close to you in splendor and size? But you're slated to be cut down to take your place in the underworld with the trees of Eden, to be a dead log stacked with all the other dead logs, among the other uncircumcised who are dead and buried. This means Pharaoh, the pompous old goat. Decree of GOD, the Master.'"

Ezek.31.18

"'Which of the trees of Eden can be compared with you in splendor and majesty? Yet you, too, will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the earth below; you will lie among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword. "'This is Pharaoh and all his hordes, declares the Sovereign LORD.'"

Ezek.31.18

"To which of the trees in Eden will you then be likened in glory and greatness? Yet you shall be brought down with the trees of Eden to the depths of the earth; you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude,' says the Lord GOD."

Ezek.31.18

"O Egypt, to which of the trees of Eden will you compare your strength and glory? You, too, will be brought down to the pit with all these other nations. You will lie there among the outcasts who have died by the sword. This will be the fate of Pharaoh and all his teeming hordes. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken!"
