Ezekiel 32:6

Ezekiel 32:6

4 Then ^aI will leave you on the land;
I will cast you out on the open fields,
^bAnd cause to¹ settle on you all the birds of the heavens.
And with you I will fill the beasts of the whole earth.

5 I will lay your flesh ^aon the mountains,
And fill the valleys with your carcass.

6 “I will also water the land with the flow of your blood,
Even to the mountains;
And the riverbeds will be full of you.

7 When I put out your light,
^aI will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark;
I will cover the sun with a cloud,
And the moon shall not give her light.

8 All the¹ bright lights of the heavens I will make dark over you,
And bring darkness upon your land,”
Says the Lord God.

<< Ezekiel 32:5

Ezekiel 32:7 >>

land wherein thou swimmest—Egypt: the land watered by the Nile, the the source of its fertility, wherein thou swimmest (carrying on the image of the crocodile, that is, wherein thou dost exercise thy wanton power at will). Irony. The land shall still afford seas to swim in, but they shall be seas of blood. Alluding to the plague (Exodus 7:19; Revelation 8:8). HAVERNICK translates, "I will water the land with what flows from thee, even thy blood, reaching to the mountains": "with thy blood overflowing even to the mountains." Perhaps this is better.
