17 ⌊And then⌋t in the ⌊twelfth⌋u year, ⌊on the fifteenth⌋v day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, ⌊saying⌋,w 18 “Son of man,x mourn over the hordes of Egypt, and make her go down, and with her the daughters of mighty nations, ⌊down to the deep underworld⌋y with the people going down to the grave.z 19 ⌊You are more lovely than whom⌋?a Go down and be laid in rest with the uncircumcised. 20 In the midst of the people slain by the sword itb is given they will fall to a sword; they carried herc off and all of herd hordes. 21 The chiefs of the warriors will speak to him from the middle of Sheol; with his helpers they have gone down; the uncircumcised lie still, ⌊those slain by the sword⌋.e

22 Assyria is there and all of its assembly; all around it are its graves, all of them killed, those fallen by the sword, 23 whof will be given its graves in the remote areas of the pit, and its assembly will be all around its grave, all of them killed, fallen by the sword, those who spread terror in the land of the living.

24 Elam is there and all of its hordes, all around its grave, all of them dead who fell by the sword, those who went down uncircumcised to the depths of the underworld,g those who spread their terror to the land of the living, and now they bear their disgrace with the people going down to the grave.h 25 In the midst of the slain they made a bed for her with all of her hordes all around its graves, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, for their terror was spread in the land of the living, and they now bear their disgrace with the people going down to the grave;i in the midst of the slain it was placed.

26 Meshech and Tubal are there and all of its hordes, all around him its graves, all of them uncircumcised and killed by the sword, for they gave their terror in the land of the living. 27 And they do not lie with warriors fallen from long ago, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war,j and they placed their sword under their heads, and their shieldsk were on their bones, for the terror of the warriors was in the land of the living. 28 And youl too in the midst of uncircumcised people will be broken, and you will lie with those slain by the sword.

29 There is Edom, its kings and all of its leaders who are laid along with their might with those killed by the sword; they will lie with the uncircumcised and with the people going down to the grave.m

31 Pharaoh will see them, and he will be comforted over all of his hordes killed by the sword, Pharaoh and all of his army,” ⌊declares⌋p the Lord Yahweh. 32 “Forq he spreadr my terror in the land of the living, and so he will be laid down in the midst of the uncircumcised with those killed by the sword: Pharaoh and all of his hordes,” ⌊declares⌋s the Lord Yahweh.
