Context of Ezekiel 32:8

6I will drench the land with the flow of your blood, all the way to the mountains— the ravines will be filled. 7When I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light. All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you, and I will bring darkness upon your land,’ declares the Lord GOD. 9‘I will trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring about your destruction among the nations, in countries you do not know. 10I will cause many peoples to be appalled over you, and their kings will shudder in horror because of you when I brandish My sword before them. On the day of your downfall each of them will tremble every moment for his life.’
