PHARAOH'S GREATNESS AND HIS OVERTHROW.

Chapter xxxi.

Two more chapters speak of the downfall and judgment of Egypt. First,

the fall of Pharaoh is described in a parable and then follows the

lamentations, a funeral dirge over Pharaoh. The message of the

thirty-first chapter has three well defined parts. The King of Egypt,

like the Assyrian of the past, is pictured as a great cedar in Lebanon.

Then the fall of the tree is shown, and finally the shaking of the

nations on account of his fall.
