Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the River Kebar.

These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar, and I knew that they were cherubim.

Their faces looked like the faces I had seen by the River Kebar. Each creature went straight ahead.

The waters made it grow; the deep springs made it tall, directing their streams all around its base and sending their channels to all the trees of the field.

This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘On the day it was brought down to Sheol, I caused mourning. I covered the deep because of it; I held back its rivers; its abundant waters were restrained. I made Lebanon mourn for it, and all the trees of the field fainted because of it.

“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.’

Then I will let her waters settle and will make her rivers flow like oil,’ declares the Lord GOD.

The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when He came to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the River Kebar. I fell facedown,

On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, the Tigris,

For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current swirled about me; all Your breakers and waves swept over me.

On that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, even from Egypt to the Euphrates, from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.

He rebukes the sea and dries it up; He makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts.

The river gates are thrown open and the palace collapses.

Were You angry at the rivers, O LORD? Was Your wrath against the streams? Did You rage against the sea when You rode on Your horses, on Your chariots of salvation?

You brandished Your bow; You called for many arrows. Selah You split the earth with rivers.

From beyond the rivers of Cush My worshipers, My scattered people, will bring Me an offering.

And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be broken. Then He will proclaim peace to the nations. His dominion will extend from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
