Pharaoh to Be Slain
31:2 [ver. 18; ch. 32:19]“Whom are you like in your greatness?
3Behold, 31:3 [Isa. 10:34]; See Dan. 4:10, 20-22Assyria was a 31:3 See Judg. 9:15cedar in 31:3 [ver. 15, 16] Lebanon,
with beautiful branches and 31:3 [ch. 17:23] forest shade,
31:3 [Isa. 10:33]and of towering height,
its top among the clouds.31:3 Or its top went through the thick boughs
4The waters nourished it;
the deep made it grow tall,
making 31:4 [ch. 17:7]its rivers flow
around the place of its planting,
sending forth its streams
to all the trees of the field.
above all the trees of the field;
its boughs grew large
and its branches long
made their nests in its boughs;
under its branches all the beasts of the field
gave birth to their young,
and under its shadow
lived all great nations.
in the length of its branches;
31:7 [See ver. 5above]for its roots went down
to abundant waters.
nor the fir trees equal its boughs;
neither were the plane trees
like its branches;
was its equal in beauty.
9I made it beautiful
in the mass of its branches,
and all the trees of 31:9 See Isa. 51:3Eden envied it,
that were in the garden of God.
10“Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because 31:10 [ver. 3] it31:10 Syriac, Vulgate; Hebrew you towered high and set its top among the clouds,31:10 Or its top through the thick boughs and 31:10 Dan. 5:20; [Isa. 10:12]its heart was proud of its height,
11I will give it into the hand of a mighty one of the nations. He shall surely deal with it as its wickedness deserves. I have cast it out.
1231:12 See ch. 28:7Foreigners, 31:12 See ch. 28:7the most ruthless of nations, have cut it down and left it. 31:12 [ch. 32:5] On the mountains and in all the valleys its branches have fallen, and its boughs have been broken in all 31:12 [ch. 6:3] the ravines of the land, and 31:12 [Dan. 4:14]all the peoples of the earth have gone away from its shadow and left it.
1331:13 ch. 32:4On its fallen trunk dwell all the birds of the heavens, and on its branches are all the beasts of the field.
1431:14 [ver. 5] All this is in order that no trees by the waters may grow to towering height or set their tops among the clouds,31:14 Or their tops through the thick boughs and that no trees that drink water may reach up to them in height. For they are all given over to death, 31:14 [ver. 16, 18; ch. 26:20; 32:18, 24] to the world 31:14 Ps. 63:9below, among the children of man,31:14 Or of Adam with those who go down to the pit.
15“Thus says the Lord God: On the day 31:15 [ch. 32:18, 21; Isa. 14:9, 10]the cedar31:15 Hebrew it went down to Sheol I caused mourning; I closed the deep over it, and restrained its rivers, and many waters were stopped. I clothed Lebanon in gloom for it, and all the trees of the field fainted because of it.
1631:16 [ch. 26:15] I made the nations quake at the sound of its fall, 31:16 [See ver. 15above] when I cast it down to Sheol with those who go down to the pit. 31:16 ver. 9; [Isa. 14:8] And all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, 31:16 [ch. 32:31]were comforted in the world below.
1831:18 [ver. 2] “Whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness 31:18 [See ver. 16above] among the trees of Eden? 31:18 [Matt. 11:23; Luke 10:15] You shall be brought down with 31:18 [See ver. 16above] the trees of Eden to the world below. 31:18 ch. 28:10; 32:19, 21, 24, 25, 28You shall lie among the uncircumcised, 31:18 [See ver. 17above]with those who are slain by the sword.
31:18 [ver. 2] “This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord God.”
