king of Egypt and say to him, 'You compared yourself to a young lion of the nations,

muddied the waters with your feet And fouled their rivers.'" |

and they will tremble every moment, every man for his own life, on the day of
your fall." |

And the land is destitute of that which filled it, When I smite all those who
live in it, Then they shall know that I am the LORD. |
|
|
|
|

with all her hordes. Her graves are around it, they are all uncircumcised, slain

in the midst of the slain. |

the uncircumcised, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war and whose

living. |
