17 And it happened that, in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth of the month, the word of the Lord came to me saying:
18 "Son of man, sing mournfully over the multitude of Egypt. And cast her down, both her and the daughters of the robust nations, to the lowest part of the earth, with those who descend into the pit.
19 Whom do you exceed in beauty? Descend and sleep with the uncircumcised!
20 They will fall by the sword in the midst of the slain. The sword has been given. They have dragged her down, with all her people.
21 The most powerful among the strong will speak to him from the midst of hell, those who descended with his helpers and who went to sleep uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
22 Assur is in that place, with all his multitude. Their graves are all around him: all of the slain and those who fell by the sword.
23 Their graves have been placed in the lowest parts of the pit. And his multitude was stationed on all sides of his grave: all of the slain, and those who fell by the sword, who formerly spread terror in the land of the living.
