The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 31: Ezechiel: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Ezekiel
31:14. For which cause none of the trees by the waters shall exalt
themselves for their height: nor shoot up their tops among the thick
branches and leaves, neither shall any of them that are watered stand up
in their height: for they are all delivered unto death to the lowest
parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that
go down into the pit.
31:15. Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when he went down to hell, I
brought in mourning, I covered him with the deep: and I withheld its
rivers, and restrained the many waters: Libanus grieved for him, and all
the trees of the field trembled.
31:16. I shook the nations with the sound of his fall, when I brought
him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees
of pleasure, the choice and best in Libanus, all that were moistened
with waters, were comforted in the lowest parts of the earth.
31:17. For they also shall go down with him to hell to them that are
slain by the sword; and the arm of every one shall sit down under his
shadow in the midst of the nations.
31:18. To whom art thou like, O thou that art famous and lofty among the
trees of pleasure? Behold, thou art brought down with the trees of
pleasure to the lowest parts of the earth: thou shalt sleep in the midst
of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword: this is
Pharao, and all his multitude, saith the Lord God.
Ezechiel Chapter 32
The prophet's lamentation for the king of Egypt.
32:1. And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in
the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me,
saying:
32:2. Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharao the king of Egypt,
and say to him: Thou art like the lion of the nations, and the dragon
that is in the sea: and thou didst push with the horn in thy rivers, and
didst trouble the waters with thy feet, and didst trample upon their
streams.
32:3. Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: I will spread out my net over
thee with the multitude of many people, and I will draw thee up in my
net.
32:4. And I will throw thee out on the land, I will cast thee away into
the open field and I will cause all the fowls of the air to dwell upon
thee, and I will fill the beasts of all the earth with thee.
32:5. And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and will fill thy
hills with thy corruption,
32:6. And I will water the earth with thy stinking blood upon the
mountains, and the valleys shall be filled with thee.
32:7. And I will cover the heavens, when thou shalt be put out, and I
will make the stars thereof dark: I will cover the sun with a cloud, and
the moon shall not give her light.
32:8. I will make all the lights of heaven to mourn over thee and I will
cause darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord God, when thy wounded shall
fall in the midst of the land, saith the Lord God.
