17 (A)In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month,[a] on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me: 18 (B)“Son of man, (C)wail over (D)the multitude of Egypt, and (E)send them down, her and the daughters of majestic nations, (F)to the world below, to those who have gone down to the pit:

19 (G)‘Whom do you surpass in beauty?
    Go down and (H)be laid to rest with the uncircumcised.’

20 They shall fall amid those (I)who are slain by the sword. Egypt[b] is delivered to the sword; drag her away, and (J)all her multitudes. 21 The mighty chiefs (K)shall speak of them, (L)with their helpers, out of the midst of Sheol: ‘They have come down, they lie still, (M)the uncircumcised, (N)slain by the sword.’

22 (O)“Assyria is there, and all her company, (P)its graves all around it, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, 23 whose graves are set in (Q)the uttermost parts of the pit; and her company is all around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, (R)who spread terror (S)in the land of the living.
