Ezekiel 32:17
Compare all
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,
aThen they shall know that I am the Lord. 
16 “This is the alamentation
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.’ ”  

Egypt and Others Consigned to the Pit

17 It came to pass also in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, athat the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 
18 “Son of man, wail over the multitude of Egypt,
And acast 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 ado you surpass in beauty?
bGo down, be placed with the uncircumcised.’
