Ezekiel 32:18–30

¹⁸“Son of man, wail over the hordes of Egypt and bring Egypt and the daughters of mighty nations down to the underworld, to be with those who descend to the Pit:^k

¹⁹Who do you surpass in loveliness?

Go down and be laid to rest with the uncircumcised!

²⁰They will fall among those slain by the sword.

A sword is appointed!^l

They drag her and all her hordes away.

²¹Warrior leaders will speak

from the middle of Sheol

about him^C and his allies:

‘They have come down;

the uncircumcised lie

slain by the sword.’^m

²²“Assyria is there with her whole assembly;

her graves are all around her.

All of them are slain, fallen by the sword.

²³Her graves are set in the deepest regions of the Pit,

and her assembly is all around her burial place.

All of them are slain, fallen by the sword—

those who once spread terror

in the land of the living.

²⁴“Elam^a is there

with all her hordes around her grave.

All of them are slain, fallen by the sword—

those who went down to the underworld uncircumcised,

who once spread their terror

in the land of the living.

They bear their disgrace

with those who descend to the Pit.

²⁵Among the slain

they prepare a bed for Elam

with all her hordes.

Her graves are all around her.

All of them are uncircumcised,

slain by the sword,

although their terror was once spread

in the land of the living.

They bear their disgrace

with those who descend to the Pit.

They are placed among the slain.

²⁶“Meshech and Tubal^Ab are there,

with all their hordes.

Their graves are all around them.

All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword,

although their terror was once spread

in the land of the living.

²⁷They do not lie down

with the fallen warriors of the uncircumcised,^B

who went down to Sheol

with their weapons of war,

whose swords were placed under their heads^C

and their shields^D

rested on their bones,

although the terror of these warriors

was once in the land of the living.

²⁸But you will be shattered

and will lie down among the uncircumcised,

with those slain by the sword.^c

²⁹“Edom^d is there, her kings and all her princes,

who, despite their strength, have been placed

among those slain by the sword.

They lie down with the uncircumcised,

with those who descend to the Pit.

³⁰All the leaders of the north^e

and all the Sidonians^f are there.

They went down in shame with the slain,

despite the terror their strength inspired.

They lie down uncircumcised

with those slain by the sword.

They bear their disgrace

with those who descend to the Pit.
