ULTWhich of the trees in Eden was your equal in glory and greatness? For you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lowest parts of the earth among the uncircumcised; you will live with those who were killed by the sword.’
¶  This is Pharaoh and all of his multitudes—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration.”

USTThis parable is a warning to you people of Egypt. You think that there is no other nation that is as great and glorious as yours is. But your nation will also be destroyed, along with those other nations. Your people will be there among the other people who are not fit to worship me, people who have been killed by their enemies’ swords. That is what will happen to the king of Egypt and all his many people.” This is what the Lord Yahweh has declared will happen.


BSB  § 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.’ ”

WEBBE“‘To whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness amongst the trees of Eden? Yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth. You will lie in the middle of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword.
¶ “‘This is Pharaoh and all his multitude,’ says the Lord GOD.”

WMBB (Same as above)

NETWhich of the trees of Eden was like you in majesty and loftiness? You will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth; you will lie among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword! This is what will happen to Pharaoh and all his hordes, declares the sovereign Lord.’ ”

LSVTo whom have you been thus like,
In glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? And you have been brought down with the trees of Eden,
To the lower earth,
You lie in the midst of the uncircumcised,
With the pierced of the sword. This [is] Pharaoh, and all his multitude,
A declaration of Lord YHWH!”

FBVWho is as great and glorious as you among the trees of Eden? But you too will be brought down to the earth below to be with the trees of Eden. You will lie there with the heathen,[fn] with those killed by the sword. This is what will happen to Pharaoh and all his many people, declares the Lord God.”


31:18 “Heathen”: literally, “uncircumcised.”

T4TThis parable is about you people of Egypt. You think that [RHQ, IRO] there is no other nation that is as great and glorious as yours is. But your nation will also be destroyed, as Assyria was, along with those other nations. Your people will be there among the other people who are not fit to worship me, people who have been killed by their enemies’ swords. That is what will happen to the king of Egypt and all his people. That will surely happen because I, Yahweh, have predicted it.’ ”

LEBTo whom could you be compared, whether in glory or in majesty[fn] among the trees of Eden? And yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden tothe world below; in the midst of the uncircumcised you will lie with those who died by the sword.[fn] That is Pharaoh andhis entire[fn] crowd!”[fn]declares[fn] the Lord Yahweh.

BBEWhom then are you like? for you will be sent down with the trees of Eden into the lowest parts of the earth: there you will be stretched out among those without circumcision, with those who were put to the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his people, says the Lord.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

31:18 The point of this extended analogy finally emerges. Although Egypt’s strength and glory were great, it would be destroyed just as Assyria had been, and it would be disgraced along with the other nations that trusted in themselves and in their own greatness.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Which of the trees in Eden was your equal in glory and greatness?

“Which of these trees in Eden had as much glory as you and was as great as you?” God asks Pharaoh this question to show him that the parable applies to him and his country. It can start with “So Pharaoh” or “So Egypt.” Alternate translation: “None of the trees in Eden was your equal in glory and greatness!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) For you will be brought down

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “For I will bring you down”

Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 5:11. Alternate translation: “this is what the Lord Yahweh has declared” or “this is what I, the Lord Yahweh, have declared”
