15 When I make Egypt a wastelandand the land destitute of everything,When I strike down all its inhabitantsthey shall know that I am the Lord.
16 This is the lamentationwomen of all nations will chant;They will raise it over Egypt;over all its hordes they will chant it—oracle of the Lord God.
17 On the fifteenth day of that month in the twelfth year, the word of the Lord came to me:
18 Son of man, wail over the hordes of Egypt—you and the women of mighty nations—Send them down to the underworld,with those who go down into the pit.
19 Whom do you excel in beauty? Go down!Be laid to rest with the uncircumcised!
20 Among those slain by the sword they will fall,for the sword has been appointed!Seize Egypt and all its hordes.
21 Out of Sheol the mighty warriorswill speak to him and his allies:Let them descend and lie down among the uncircumcised,those slain by the sword!
