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!
22 There is Assyria and all its company,around it are its graves,all of them slain, fallen by the sword.
23 The graves are setin the recesses of the pit;Its company is assembledaround its grave,All of them slain, fallen by the sword,those who spread terror in the land of the living.
