New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Ezekiel 31
14 so that all the trees by the waters may not be exalted in their stature, nor set their top among the clouds, nor their well-watered mighty ones stand erect in their height. For they have all been given over to death, to the earth beneath, among the sons of men, with those who go down to the pit."
15 ’Thus says the Lord God, "On the day when it went down to Sheol I caused lamentations; I closed the deep over it and held back its rivers. And its many waters were stopped up, and I made Lebanon mourn for it, and all the trees of the field wilted away on account of it.
16 I made the nations quake at the sound of its fall when I made it go down to Sheol with those who go down to the pit; and all the well-watered trees of Eden, the choicest and best of Lebanon, were comforted in the earth beneath.
17 They also went down with it to Sheol to those who were slain by the sword; and those who were its strength lived under its shade among the nations.
18 "To which among the trees of Eden are you thus equal in glory and greatness? Yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the earth beneath; you will lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who were slain by the sword. So is Pharaoh and all his hordes!"’ declares the Lord God."
Ezekiel 32
1 In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me saying,
2 "Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him, ’You compared yourself to a young lion of the nations, Yet you are like the monster in the seas; And you burst forth in your rivers And muddied the waters with your feet And fouled their rivers.’"
3 Thus says the Lord God, "Now I will spread My net over you With a company of many peoples, And they shall lift you up in My net.
4 "I will leave you on the land; I will cast you on the open field. And I will cause all the birds of the heavens to dwell on you, And I will satisfy the beasts of the whole earth with you.
5 "I will lay your flesh on the mountains And fill the valleys with your refuse.
6 "I will also make the land drink the discharge of your blood As far as the mountains, And the ravines will be full of you.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
