Context of Ezekiel 32:22

20They will fall among those slain by the sword. A sword is appointed! They drag her and all her hordes away. 21Warrior leaders will speak from the middle of Sheol about him and his allies: ‘They have come down; the uncircumcised lie slain by the sword.’ “Assyria is there with her whole assembly; her graves are all around her. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword. 23Her graves are set in the deepest regions of the Pit, and her assembly is all around her burial place. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword — those who once spread terror in the land of the living. 24“Elam is there with all her hordes around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword — those who went down to the underworld uncircumcised, who once spread their terror in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit.
