among thy
merchandise.

Behold, the Assyrian was a
cedar in
Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing
shroud, and of an high
stature; and his top was
among the thick boughs.
Look at Assyria, a
cedar in
Lebanon, with beautiful branches that shaded the forest. It towered on high; its top was
among the clouds.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up
thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top
among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Since it became great in height and set its top among the clouds, and it grew proud on account of its height,
Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
All the birds of the air nested on its fallen trunk, and all the beasts of the field lived among its boughs.
To the end that none of all the trees by the waters
exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top
among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the
nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
This happened so that no other trees by the waters would become great in height and set their tops
among the clouds, and no other well-watered trees would reach them in height. For they have all been
consigned to death, to the depths of the earth,
among the mortals who descend to the Pit.’
They also went down into
hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.

Sheol, to those slain by the sword. As its allies they had lived in its shade
among the nations.
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.
Who then is like you in glory and greatness
among the trees of
Eden? You also will be brought down to the depths of the earth to be with the trees of
Eden. You will lie
among the
uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord GOD.’”
Son of man, take up a
lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a
whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
“Son of man, take up a
lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him: ‘You are like a lion
among the nations; you are like a
monster in the seas. You
thrash about in your rivers,
churning up the waters with your feet and
muddying the streams.’
I will also
vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction
among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.
‘I will trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring about your destruction among the nations, in countries you do not know.

drag her away along with all her multitudes.

among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of
hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie
uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
Mighty chiefs will speak from the midst of
Sheol about Egypt and her allies: ‘They have come down and lie with the
uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.’
They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them
uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain.
Among the slain they prepare a resting place for
Elam with all her hordes, with her graves all around her. All of them are
uncircumcised, slain by the sword, although their terror was once spread in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit. They are placed
among the slain.
Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the
uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword.
There is
Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by them that were slain by the sword: they shall lie with the
uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.
Edom is there, and all her kings and princes, who
despite their might are laid
among those slain by the sword. They lie down with the
uncircumcised, with those who descend to the Pit.
For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the
uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
For I will spread My terror in the land of the living, so that Pharaoh and all his multitude will be laid to rest
among the
uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword, declares the Lord GOD.”
Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their
watchman:
“Son of man, speak to your people and tell them: ‘Suppose I bring the sword against a land, and the people of that land choose a man from
among them,
appointing him as their
watchman,
But if the
watchman see the sword come, and blow not the
trumpet, and the people be not
warned; if the sword come, and take any person from
among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the
watchman’s hand.
But if the
watchman sees the sword coming and fails to blow the horn to
warn the people, and the sword comes and takes away a life, then that one will be taken away in his iniquity, but I will hold the
watchman accountable for his blood.’
And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
So when it comes to pass—and surely it will come—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
As a
shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is
among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the
cloudy and dark day.
As a
shepherd looks for his scattered sheep when he is
among the flock, so I will look for My flock. I will
rescue them from all the places to which they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.

Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine
envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known
among them, when I have judged thee.

And I scattered them
among the heathen, and they were
dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.

dispersed them
among the nations, and they were scattered throughout the lands. I judged them according to their ways and deeds.
And when they entered unto the heathen,
whither they went, they
profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.
And wherever they went
among the nations, they
profaned My holy name, because it was said of them, ‘These are the people of the LORD, yet they had to leave His land.’
But I had
pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had
profaned among the heathen,
whither they went.
But I had
concern for My holy name, which the house of Israel had
profaned among the nations to which they had gone.
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name’s sake, which ye have
profaned among the heathen,
whither ye went.
Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: It is not for your sake that I will act, O house of Israel, but for My holy name, which you
profaned among the nations to which you went.
And I will
sanctify my great name, which was
profaned among the heathen, which ye have
profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be
sanctified in you before their eyes.
I will show the
holiness of My great name, which has been
profaned among the nations—the name you have
profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Lord GOD, when I show My
holiness in you before their eyes.
For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and I will bring you back into your own land.
And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.
I will also make the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field
plentiful, so that you will no longer bear reproach
among the nations on account of famine.
And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
He led me all around among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, and indeed, they were very dry.
And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from
among the heathen,
whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take the Israelites out of the nations to which they have gone, and I will gather them from all around and bring them into their own land.
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an
everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for
evermore.
And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an
everlasting covenant. I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary
among them
forever.
And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do
sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for
evermore.
Then the nations will know that I the LORD
sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is
among them
forever.’”
And I will send a fire on
Magog, and
among them that dwell
carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Magog and on those who dwell securely in the coastlands, and they will know that I am the LORD.

pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
So I will make My holy name known
among My people Israel and will no longer allow it to be
profaned. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
I will display My glory
among the nations, and all the nations will see the judgment that I
execute and the hand that I lay upon them.
Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
Then they will know that I am the LORD their God, when I regather them to their own land, not leaving any of them behind after their exile among the nations.
And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of
Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto him.
and the chamber that faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of
Zadok, the only Levites who may approach the LORD to minister before Him.”
And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more
defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their
whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.
and He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place for the soles of My feet, where I will dwell
among the Israelites
forever. The house of Israel will never again
defile My holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their
prostitution and by the funeral offerings for their kings at their deaths.
Now let them put away their
whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
Now let them remove far from Me their
prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings, and I will dwell
among them
forever.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger,
uncircumcised in heart, nor
uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is
among the children of Israel.
This is what the Lord GOD says: No foreigner
uncircumcised in heart and flesh may enter My sanctuary—not even a foreigner who lives
among the Israelites.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall
inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
This is what the Lord GOD says: “These are the boundaries by which you are to divide the land as an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel; Joseph shall receive two portions.
And ye shall
inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
You are to divide it equally
among them. Because I
swore with an
uplifted hand to give it to your forefathers, this land will fall to you as an inheritance.
So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.
You are to divide this land
among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.
And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that
sojourn among you, which shall
beget children
among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country
among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you
among the tribes of Israel.
You shall
allot it as an inheritance for
yourselves and for the foreigners who dwell
among you and who have children. You are to treat them as native-born Israelites; along with you, they shall be
allotted an inheritance
among the tribes of Israel.
Now
among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and
Azariah:
Among these young men were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and
Azariah.
And the king communed with them; and
among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and
Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.
And the king spoke with them, and
among all the young men he found no one equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and
Azariah. So they entered the king’s service.
Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in
haste and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the
captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.
Arioch
hastily brought Daniel before the king and said to him, “I have found a man
among the exiles from Judah who will tell the king the interpretation.”
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
All the peoples of the earth are counted as nothing, and He does as He pleases with the army of heaven and the peoples of the earth. There is no one who can restrain His hand or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’”
Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
Soon, by his extraordinary spirit, Daniel distinguished himself
among the administrators and satraps. So the king
planned to set him over the whole kingdom.
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up
among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns
plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
While I was
contemplating the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up
among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like those of a man and a mouth that spoke words of
arrogance.
And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall
exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.
In those times many will rise up against the king of the South. Violent ones
among your own people will
exalt themselves in
fulfillment of the vision, but they will fail.
He shall enter
peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall
scatter among them the prey, and
spoil, and riches:
yea, and he shall
forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
In a time of peace, he will
invade the richest provinces and do what his fathers and forefathers never did. He will
lavish plunder,
loot, and wealth on his followers, and he will plot against the strongholds—but only for a time.
And they that understand
among the people shall
instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by
spoil, many days.
Those with insight will
instruct many, though for a time they will fall by sword or flame, or be captured or
plundered.
Ephraim shall be
desolate in the day of
rebuke:
among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
Ephraim will be laid waste on the day of
rebuke.
Among the tribes of Israel I
proclaim what is certain.
They are all hot as an
oven, and have
devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none
among them that calleth unto me.
All of them are hot as an
oven, and they
devour their rulers. All their kings fall; not one of them calls upon Me.
Ephraim, he hath mixed himself
among the people; Ephraim is a
cake not turned.
Ephraim mixes with the nations; Ephraim is an unturned
cake.
