EZEKIEL 31:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord God.”
Whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? You shall be brought down with the trees of Eden to the depths of the earth; you shall lie among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord God, concluding by applying the Assyrian fate directly to Egypt, asserting that Pharaoh will experience the same destruction. The descent 'among the uncircumcised' suggests shameful association with those outside the covenant. The formula 'Pharaoh and all his multitude' emphasizes that the judgment encompasses the entire Egyptian state and people.
