Ezekiel 32:31 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 On the first day of the twelfth month in the twelfth year of exile, the word of the Lord came to me. He said,
2 "Son of man, sing this sad song about Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Say to him: "'You thought you were like a powerful young lion walking proud among the nations. But really, you are like a dragon in the lakes. You push your way through the streams. You make the water muddy with your feet and stir up the rivers of Egypt.'"
3 This is what the Lord God says: "I have gathered many people together. Now I will throw my net over you. Then those people will pull you in.
4 Then I will drop you on the dry ground. I will throw you down in the field. I will let all the birds come and eat you. I will let wild animals from every place come and eat you until they are full.
5 I will scatter your body on the mountains. I will fill the valleys with your dead body.
6 I will pour your blood on the mountains, and it will soak down into the ground. The rivers will be full of you.
7 I will make you disappear. I will cover the sky and make the stars dark. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not shine.
8 I will darken the lights in the sky over you. I will make your whole country dark." This is what the Lord God said.
9 "I will make many people sad and upset when I bring an enemy to destroy you. Nations you don't even know will be upset.
10 I will make many people shocked about you. Their kings will be terrified of you, when I swing my sword before them. They will shake with fear on the day you fall. Each king will be afraid for his own life."
11 That will happen because of what the Lord God said: "The sword of the king of Babylon will come to fight against you.
12 I will use those soldiers to kill your people in battle. They come from the most terrible of the nations. They will destroy the things Egypt is proud of. The people of Egypt will be destroyed.
13 There are many animals by the rivers in Egypt. I will also destroy all those animals. People will not make the waters muddy with their feet anymore. The hoofs of cows will not make the water muddy anymore.
14 So I will make the water in Egypt calm. I will cause their rivers to run slowly—they will be slick like oil." This is what the Lord God said.
15 "I will make the land of Egypt empty. That land will lose everything. I will punish all the people living in Egypt. Then they will know that I am the Lord God!
16 "This is a sad song that people will sing for Egypt. The daughters in other nations will sing this sad song. They will sing it as a sad song about Egypt and all its people." This is what the Lord God said.
17 On the fifteenth day of that month, in the twelfth year of exile, the word of the Lord came to me. He said,
18 "Son of man, cry for the people of Egypt. Lead Egypt and the daughters from powerful nations to the grave. Lead them to the world below where they will be with the other people who went down into that deep hole.
19 "Egypt, you are no better than anyone else! Go down to the place of death. Go lie down with those foreigners.
20 "Egypt will go to be with all the other men who were killed in battle. The enemy has pulled her and all her people away.
21 "Strong and powerful men were killed in battle. Those foreigners went down to the place of death. And from that place, those who were killed will speak to Egypt and his helpers.
22 "Assyria and all its army are there in the place of death. Their graves are deep down in that deep hole. All the Assyrian soldiers were killed in battle, and their graves are all around his grave. When they were alive, they made people afraid, but they were all killed in battle.
23 vnumber="23">
24 "Elam is there and all its army is around her grave. All of them were killed in battle. Those foreigners went deep down into the ground. When they were alive, they made people afraid. But they carried their shame with them down to that deep hole.
25 They have made a bed for Elam and all its soldiers who were killed in battle. Elam's army is all around its grave. All those foreigners were killed in battle. When they were alive, they scared people. But they carried their shame with them down into that deep hole. They were put with all the other people who were killed.
26 "Meshech, Tubal, and all their armies are there. Their graves are around it. All those foreigners were killed in battle. When they were alive, they made people afraid.
27 But now they are lying down by the powerful men who died long, long ago! They were buried with their weapons of war. Their swords will be laid under their heads. But their sins are on their bones, because when they were alive, they scared people.
28 "Egypt, you also will be destroyed, and you will lie down by those foreigners. You will lie with the other soldiers who were killed in battle.
29 "Edom is there also. His kings and other leaders are there with him. They were powerful soldiers, but now they lie with the other men who were killed in battle. They are lying there with those foreigners. They are there with the other people who went down into that deep hole.
30 "The rulers from the north are there, all of them, and there are all the soldiers from Sidon. Their strength scared people, but they are embarrassed. Those foreigners lie there with the other men who were killed in battle. They carried their shame with them down into that deep hole.
31 "Yes, Pharaoh and all his army will be killed in battle. Pharaoh will be comforted when he sees his many men and all the others who went down into the place of death." This is what the Lord God said.
32 "People were afraid of Pharaoh when he was alive, but he will lie down next to those foreigners. Pharaoh and his army will lie down with all the other soldiers who were killed in battle." This is what the Lord God said.
1 And it came to pass H1961 W-VPY3MS in the twelfth H8147 year H8141 NFS , in the twelfth H8147 month H2320 , in the first H259 B-NMS day of the month H2320 LD-NMS , that the word H1697 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS came H1961 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
2 Son H1121 of man H120 NMS , take up H5375 VQI2MS a lamentation H7015 for H5921 PREP Pharaoh H6547 EMS king H4428 NMS of Egypt H4714 EFS , and say H559 unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Thou art like H1819 a young lion H3715 of the nations H1471 NMP , and thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS art as a whale H8577 in the seas H3220 B-NMP : and thou camest forth H1518 with thy rivers H5104 , and troubledst H1804 the waters H4325 OMD with thy feet H7272 , and fouledst H7511 their rivers H5104 .
3 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 ; I will therefore spread out H6566 my net H7568 over H5921 PREP-2MS thee with a company H6951 of many H7227 AMP people H5971 NMP ; and they shall bring thee up H5927 in my net H2764 .
4 Then will I leave H5203 thee upon the land H776 BD-GFS , I will cast thee forth H2904 upon H5921 PREP the open H6440 CMP field H7704 D-NMS , and will cause all H3605 NMS the fowls H5775 NMS of the heaven H8064 D-NMD to remain H7931 upon H5921 PREP thee , and I will fill H7646 the beasts H2416 CFS of the whole H3605 NMS earth H776 D-GFS with H4480 PREP-2MS thee .
5 And I will lay H5414 thy flesh H1320 upon H5921 PREP the mountains H2022 , and fill H4390 the valleys H1516 with thy height H7419 .
6 I will also water H8248 with thy blood H1818 the land H776 GFS wherein thou swimmest H6824 , even to H413 PREP the mountains H2022 ; and the rivers H650 shall be full H4390 of H4480 M-PPRO-2MS thee .
7 And when I shall put thee out H3518 , I will cover H3680 the heaven H8064 NMP , and make the stars thereof dark H6937 ; I will cover H3680 the sun H8121 with a cloud H6051 , and the moon H3394 W-NMS shall not H3808 NADV give H215 VHY3MS her light H216 CMS-3MS .
8 All H3605 NMS the bright H216 NMS lights H3974 of heaven H8064 BD-NMP will I make dark H6937 over H5921 PREP-2MS thee , and set H5414 darkness H2822 NMS upon H5921 PREP thy land H776 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 .
9 I will also vex H3707 the hearts H3820 NMS of many H7227 AMP people H5971 NMP , when I shall bring H935 thy destruction H7667 among the nations H1471 , into H5921 PREP the countries H776 which H834 RPRO thou hast not H3808 ADV known H3045 .
10 Yea , I will make many people amazed H8074 at H5921 PREP thee , and their kings H4428 shall be horribly afraid H8175 for H5921 PREP thee , when I shall brandish H5774 my sword H2719 before H5921 PREP them ; and they shall tremble H2729 at every moment H7281 L-NMP , every man H376 NMS for his own life H5315 , in the day H3117 B-NMS of thy fall H4658 .
11 For H3588 CONJ thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 ; The sword H2719 GFS of the king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS shall come upon H935 thee .
12 By the swords H2719 of the mighty H1368 will I cause thy multitude H1995 to fall H5307 , the terrible H6184 of the nations H1471 NMP , all H3605 NMS of them : and they shall spoil H7703 the pomp H1347 CMS of Egypt H4714 EFS , and all H3605 NMS the multitude H1995 thereof shall be destroyed H8045 .
13 I will destroy H6 also all H3605 NMS the beasts H929 thereof from beside H5921 M-PREP the great H7227 AMP waters H4325 OMD ; neither H3808 W-NPAR shall the foot H7272 of man H120 NMS trouble H1804 them any more H5750 ADV , nor H3808 W-NPAR the hooves H6541 of beasts H929 NFS trouble H1804 them .
14 Then H227 ADV will I make their waters deep H8257 , and cause their rivers H5104 to run H1980 like oil H8081 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 .
15 When I shall make H5414 the land H776 GFS of Egypt H4714 EFS desolate H8077 , and the country H776 GFS shall be destitute H8074 of that whereof it was full H4393 , when I shall smite H5221 all H3605 NMS them that dwell H3427 therein , then shall they know H3045 that H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS am the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
16 This H1931 PPRO-3FS is the lamentation H7015 wherewith they shall lament H6969 her : the daughters H1323 CFP of the nations H1471 D-NMP shall lament H6969 her : they shall lament H6969 for her , even for H5921 PREP Egypt H4714 EFS , and for H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS her multitude H1995 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 .
17 It came to pass H1961 W-VPY3MS also in the twelfth H8147 year H8141 NFS , in the fifteenth H2568 day of the month H2320 LD-NMS , that the word H1697 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS came H1961 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
