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. 10And I 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 again and again, every person for his own life, on the day of your fall.”

11For 10the Lord God says 11this: “The sword of the king of Babylon will 12attack you. 12By the swords of the warriors I will make your multitude fall; all of them are 13tyrants of the nations, And they will 14devastate the pride of Egypt, And all its multitude will be destroyed.13I will also eliminate all its cattle from beside many waters; And 15a human foot will not muddy them anymore, And the hoofs of animals will not muddy them.14Then I will make their waters settle, And make their rivers run like oil,” Declares the Lord God.15“When I make the land of Egypt a 16desolation, And the land is destitute of that which filled it, When I strike all those who live in it, Then they shall 17know that I am the Lord. 16This is a 18song of mourning, and they shall sing it. The daughters of the nations shall sing it. Over Egypt and over all her hordes they shall sing it,” declares the Lord God.

17In the 19twelfth year, on the 20fifteenth of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 18“Son of man, 21lament for the hordes of Egypt and 22bring it down, her and the daughters of the mighty nations, to the 23netherworld, with those who go down to the pit;19‘Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down and make your bed with the 24uncircumcised.’ 20They shall fall in the midst of those who are killed by the sword. 25She is turned over to the sword; they have 26dragged her and all her hordes away. 21The 27strong 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, killed by the sword.’

22“28Assyria is there and all her company; 29her graves are all around 30her. All of them killed, fallen by the sword, 23whose 31graves are set in the remotest parts of the pit, and her company is all around her grave. All of them killed, fallen by the sword, who 32spread terror in the land of the living.

24“33Elam is there and all her hordes around her grave; all of them killed, fallen by the sword, who went down uncircumcised to the 34lower parts of the earth, who inflicted their terror on the 35land of the living, and 36bore their disgrace with those who go down to the pit. 25They have made a 37bed for her among the slain with all her hordes. Her graves are around it, they are all uncircumcised, killed by the sword (although their terror was 38inflicted on the land of the living), and they bore their disgrace with those who go down to the pit; 39they were put in the midst of the slain.

26“40Meshech, 41Tubal, and all their hordes are there; their graves 42surround them. All of them were killed by the sword 43uncircumcised, though they inflicted their terror on the land of the living. 2744Nor do they lie beside the fallen 4546heroes of the uncircumcised, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war and whose swords were placed under their heads; but the punishment for their 47wrongdoing rested on their bones, though the terror of these 48heroes was once in the land of the living. 28But in the midst of the uncircumcised you will be broken and lie with those killed by the sword.

29“There also is 49Edom, its kings and all its 50princes, who 51despite all their might are laid with those killed by the sword; they will lie with the uncircumcised and with those who go down to the pit.

30“There also are the 52chiefs of the 53north, all of them, and all the 54Sidonians, who in spite of the terror resulting from their might, in shame went down with the slain. So they lay down uncircumcised with those killed by the sword and bore their disgrace with those who go down to the pit.

31“These Pharaoh will see, and he will 55find consolation regarding all his hordes killed by the sword, Pharaoh and all his army,” declares the Lord God. 32“Though I inflicted the terror of him on the land of the living, yet he will be laid to rest among the uncircumcised along with those killed by the sword, Pharaoh and all his hordes,” declares the Lord God.
