THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING PAROH
And so be it, in the eleventh year, in the third, in the first of the month, so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, 2 Son of humanity, speak to Paroh sovereign of Misrayim and to his multitude; To whom are you likened in your greatness? 3 Behold, the Ashshuri, a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches with an overshadowing forest and high in height; with his foliage among the thick foliage: 4 the waters greaten him; the abyss lifts him; and her rivers pass all around his plants and send her channels to all the trees of the field. 5 So his height heightens above all the trees of the field; and his twigs greaten and his foliage lengthens because of the abundance of waters when he spreads forth: 6 all the flyers of the heavens nest in his twigs and under his foliage all the live beings of the field birth their young; and all the great goyim settle under his shadow: 7 and he beautifies in his greatness - in the length of his branches: and so be his root by great waters: 8 the cedars in the garden of Elohim shade him not: neither are the fir trees like his twigs; nor the chesnut trees like his foliage; nor any tree in the garden of Elohim like him in his beauty: 9 I worked him beautiful in the abundance of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden in the garden of Elohim envy him. 10 So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you heighten in height, and he gives his foliage among the thick foliage and lifts his heart in height; 11 so I give him into the hand of the el of the goyim; in working, he works with him: I drive him out for his wickedness: 12 and strangers, the tyrants of the goyim, cut him off and abandon him: his branches fall on the mountains and in all the valleys; and his foliage breaks by all the reservoirs of the earth; and all the people of the earth descend from his shadow and abandon him: 13 all the flyers of the heavens, tabernacle on his ruin; and all the live beings of the field are on his foliage: 14 so that none of all the trees by the waters heighten themselves in height; neither give their foliage among the thick foliage nor their mighty oaks stand in their height - all drinking waters: for they are all given to death; to the nethermost of the earth midst the sons of humanity, who descend with them to the well. 15 Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: In the day he descends to sheol I cause a mourning; I cover the abyss for him: and I withhold the rivers and stay the great waters: and I darken Lebanon for him and all the trees of the field languish for him: 16 I quake the goyim at the voice of his ruin when I bring him down to sheol with them who descend into the well: and all the trees of Eden - the choice and best of Lebanon - all who drink water sigh in the nethermost of the earth: 17 they also descend into sheol with him to the pierced with the sword; and settles his arm under his shadow midst the goyim. 18 To whom are you thus likened in honor and in greatness among the trees of Eden? Yet I bring you down with the trees of Eden to the nethermost of the earth: to lie among the uncircumcised with the pierced by the sword - thus is Paroh and all his multitude - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.
