Psalms 83:8-9
8 aAsshur also has joined them;they are the strong arm of bthe children of Lot. Selah
9 Do to them as you did to cMidian,
as to dSisera and Jabin at ethe river Kishon,
Isaiah 10:12
12 fWhen the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, ghe ▼▼Hebrew I
will punish the speech of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the boastful look in his eyes. Isaiah 10:16
16Therefore the Lord God of hostswill send wasting sickness among his istout warriors,
and under his glory ja burning will be kindled,
like the burning of fire.
Isaiah 11:11
11 kIn that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, lfrom Assyria, mfrom Egypt, from nPathros, from oCush, ▼▼Probably Nubia
from qElam, from rShinar, from sHamath, and from tthe coastlands of the sea. Ezekiel 31:3-18
3Behold, uAssyria was a vcedar in wLebanon,with beautiful branches and xforest shade,
yand of towering height,
its top among the clouds. ▼
▼Or its top went through the thick boughs; also verses 10, 14
4The waters nourished it;
the deep made it grow tall,
making aaits rivers flow
around the place of its planting,
sending forth its streams
to all the trees of the field.
5So abit towered high
above all the trees of the field;
its boughs grew large
and its branches long
from acabundant water in its shoots.
6 adAll the birds of the heavens
made their nests in its boughs;
under its branches all the beasts of the field
gave birth to their young,
and under its shadow
lived all great nations.
7It was aebeautiful in its greatness,
in the length of its branches;
affor its roots went down
to abundant waters.
8 agThe cedars ahin the garden of God could not rival it,
nor the fir trees equal its boughs;
neither were the plane trees
like its branches;
no tree aiin the garden of God
was its equal in beauty.
9I made it beautiful
in the mass of its branches,
and all the trees of ajEden envied it,
that were in the garden of God.
10“Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because akit ▼
▼Syriac, Vulgate; Hebrew you
towered high and set its top among the clouds, and amits heart was proud of its height, 11I will give it into the hand of a mighty one of the nations. He shall surely deal with it as its wickedness deserves. I have cast it out. 12 anForeigners, aothe most ruthless of nations, have cut it down and left it. apOn the mountains and in all the valleys its branches have fallen, and its boughs have been broken in all aqthe ravines of the land, and arall the peoples of the earth have gone away from its shadow and left it. 13 asOn its fallen trunk dwell all the birds of the heavens, and on its branches are all the beasts of the field. 14 atAll this is in order that no trees by the waters may grow to towering height or set their tops among the clouds, and that no trees that drink water may reach up to them in height. For they are all given over to death, auto the world avbelow, among the children of man, ▼▼Or of Adam
with those who go down to the pit. 15“Thus says the Lord God: On the day axthe cedar ▼
▼Hebrew it
went down to Sheol I caused mourning; I closed the deep over it, and restrained its rivers, and many waters were stopped. I clothed Lebanon in gloom for it, and all the trees of the field fainted because of it. 16 azI made the nations quake at the sound of its fall, bawhen I cast it down to Sheol with those who go down to the pit. bbAnd all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, bcwere comforted in the world below. 17They also went down to Sheol with it, bdto those who are slain by the sword; yes, bethose who were its arm, bfwho lived under its shadow among the nations. 18 bg“Whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness bhamong the trees of Eden? biYou shall be brought down with bjthe trees of Eden to the world below. bkYou shall lie among the uncircumcised, blwith those who are slain by the sword.
bm“This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord God.”
