Context of Ezekiel 32:16

14Then I will make their waters settle and make their streams flow like oil.” It is a declaration of Adonai. 15“When I make the land of Egypt desolate and waste when it was previously full, when I strike all that live there, they will know that I am Adonai. This is the funeral song —chant it, daughters of the nations, chant for Egypt. All her multitude will chant it.” It is a declaration of Adonai. 17On the fifteenth day of the month in the twelfth year, the word of Adonai came to me saying: 18“Son of man, wail over Egypt’s throng. Bring them down —her and the daughters of lofty nations, to the underworld, to those who go down to the pit.
