And it came to pass in the eleventh
year,
in the third
month, in the first
day of the month,
that the word
of the LORD
came unto me, saying,
Son
of man,
speak
unto Pharaoh
king
of Egypt,
and to his multitude;
Whom art thou like
in thy greatness?
Behold, the Assyrian
was a cedar
in Lebanon
with fair
branches,
and with a shadowing
shroud,
and of an high
stature;
and his top
was among the thick boughs.

The waters
made him great,
the deep
set him up on high
with her rivers
running
round about
his plants,
and sent out
her little rivers
unto all the trees
of the field.

Therefore his height
was exalted
above all the trees
of the field,
and his boughs
were multiplied,
and his branches
became long
because of the multitude
of waters,
when he shot forth.
All the fowls
of heaven
made their nests
in his boughs,
and under his branches
did all the beasts
of the field
bring forth their young,
and under his shadow
dwelt
all great
nations.

Thus was he fair
in his greatness,
in the length
of his branches:
for his root
was by great
waters.
The cedars
in the garden
of God
could not hide
him: the fir trees
were not like
his boughs,
and the chesnut trees
were not like his branches;
nor any tree
in the garden
of God
was like
unto him in his beauty.

I have made
him fair
by the multitude
of his branches:
so that all the trees
of Eden,
that were in the garden
of God,
envied
him.
Therefore thus saith
the Lord
GOD;
Because thou hast lifted up
thyself in height,
and he hath shot up
his top
among the thick boughs,
and his heart
is lifted up
in his height;
I have therefore delivered
him into the hand
of the mighty one
of the heathen;
he shall surely
deal
with him: I have driven him out
for his wickedness.
And strangers,
the terrible
of the nations,
have cut him off,
and have left
him: upon the mountains
and in all the valleys
his branches
are fallen,
and his boughs
are broken
by all the rivers
of the land;
and all the people
of the earth
are gone down
from his shadow,
and have left
him.

Upon his ruin

shall be upon his branches:
To the end that none of all the trees
by the waters
exalt
themselves for their height,
neither shoot up
their top
among the thick boughs,
neither their trees
stand up
in their height,
all that drink
water:
for they are all delivered
unto death,
to the nether parts
of the earth,
in the midst
of the children
of men,
with them that go down

Thus saith
the Lord
GOD;
In the day
when he went down
to the grave
I caused a mourning:
I covered
the deep
for him, and I restrained
the floods
thereof, and the great
waters
were stayed:
and I caused Lebanon
to mourn
for him, and all the trees
of the field
fainted
for him.

This is Pharaoh
