Context of Ezekiel 32:16

14Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord Yhwh. 15When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall be destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am Yhwh. This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord Yhwh. 17It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of Yhwh came unto me, saying, 18Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.
