Context of Ezekiel 32:17

15“When I make the land of Egypt desolate, And the country is destitute of all that once filled it, When I strike all who dwell in it, Then they shall know that I am the Lord. 16“This is the lamentation With which they shall lament her; The daughters of the nations shall lament her; They shall lament for her, for Egypt, And for all her multitude,” Says the Lord God.’ ” It came to pass also in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 18“Son of man, wail over the multitude of Egypt, And cast them down to the depths of the earth, Her and the daughters of the famous nations, With those who go down to the Pit: 19‘Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down, be placed with the uncircumcised.’
