17 On the fifteenth day of the month in the twelfth year, the word of Adonai came to me saying:
18 “Son of man, wail over Egypt’s throng. Bring them down —her and the daughters of lofty nations, to the underworld, to those who go down to the pit.
19 Who do you surpass in beauty? Go down, lie with the uncircumcised.
20 They fall among those slain by the sword. She is given over to the sword. They drag her down with all her throng.
21 The strongest warriors will speak of him and his allies from the midst of Sheol. They have gone down, they lie still, the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
22 “Assyria is there and all her company, their graves surround them —all of them slain, fallen by the sword.
23 Her graves are set in the deepest parts of the Pit. Her company surrounds her grave —all of them slain, fallen by the sword —who put terror in the land of the living.
