1. On June 21, during the eleventh year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, this message came to me from the lord:
2. “Son of man, give this message to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and all his hordes:“To whom would you compare your greatness?
3. You are like mighty Assyria,which was once like a cedar of Lebanon,with beautiful branches that cast deep forest shadeand with its top high among the clouds.
