Ezekiel 32:7-32

7And when I 1extinguish you, I will 2cover the heavens and darken their 3stars; I will cover the 4sun with a cloud And the moon will not give its light.8All the shining 5lights in the heavens I will darken over you And will set darkness on your land,” Declares the Lord God. 9“I will also 6trouble the hearts of many peoples when I 7bring your destruction among the nations, into lands which you have not known. 10I will make many peoples 8appalled at you, and their kings will be horribly afraid of you when I brandish My sword before them; and 9they will tremble every moment, every man for his own life, on the day of your fall.”

11For 10thus says the Lord God, “The sword of the king of Babylon will come upon you. 12By the swords of the mighty ones I will cause your hordes to fall; all of them are 11tyrants of the nations, And they will 12devastate the pride of Egypt, And all its hordes will be destroyed.13I will also destroy all its cattle from beside many waters; And 13the foot of man will not muddy them anymore And the hoofs of beasts will not muddy them.14Then I will make their waters settle And will cause their rivers to run like oil,” Declares the Lord God.15“When I make the land of Egypt a 14desolation, And the land is destitute of that which filled it, When I smite all those who live in it, Then they shall 15know that I am the Lord. 16This is a 16lamentation and they shall 17chant it. The daughters of the nations shall 18chant it. Over Egypt and over all her hordes they shall 19chant it,” declares the Lord God.

17In the 20twelfth year, on the 21fifteenth of the month, the word of the Lord came to me saying, 18“Son of man, 22wail for the hordes of Egypt and 23bring it down, her and the daughters of the powerful nations, to the 24nether world, with those who go down to the pit;19‘Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down and make your bed with the 25uncircumcised.’ 20They shall fall in the midst of those who are slain by the sword. 26She is given over to the sword; they have 27drawn her and all her hordes away. 21The 28strong among the mighty ones shall speak of him and his helpers from the midst of Sheol, ‘They have gone down, they lie still, the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.’

22“29Assyria is there and all her company; 30her graves are round about 31her. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword, 23whose 32graves are set in the remotest parts of the pit and her company is round about her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword, who 33spread terror in the land of the living.

24“34Elam is there and all her hordes around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who went down uncircumcised to the 35lower parts of the earth, who instilled their terror in the 36land of the living and 37bore their disgrace with those who went down to the pit. 25They have made a 38bed for her among the slain with all her hordes. Her graves are around it, they are all uncircumcised, slain by the sword (although their terror was 39instilled in the land of the living), and they bore their disgrace with those who go down to the pit; 40they were put in the midst of the slain.

26“41Meshech, 42Tubal and all their hordes are there; their graves 43surround them. All of them were slain by the sword 44uncircumcised, though they instilled their terror in the land of the living. 2745Nor do they lie beside the fallen 4647heroes of the uncircumcised, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war and whose swords were laid under their heads; but the punishment for their 48iniquity rested on their bones, though the terror of these 49heroes was once in the land of the living. 28But in the midst of the uncircumcised you will be broken and lie with those slain by the sword.

29“There also is 50Edom, its kings and all its 51princes, who 52for all their might are laid with those slain by the sword; they will lie with the uncircumcised and with those who go down to the pit.

30“There also are the 53chiefs of the 54north, all of them, and all the 55Sidonians, who in spite of the terror resulting from their might, in shame went down with the slain. So they lay down uncircumcised with those slain by the sword and bore their disgrace with those who go down to the pit.

31“These Pharaoh will see, and he will be 56comforted for all his hordes slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his army,” declares the Lord God. 32“Though I instilled a terror of him in the land of the living, yet he will be made to lie down among the uncircumcised along with those slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his hordes,” declares the Lord God.
