Ezekiel 32:17-32
New American Standard Bible
17 In the (A)twelfth year, on the (B)fifteenth of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 18 “Son of man, (C)lament for the hordes of Egypt and (D)bring it down, her and the daughters of the mighty nations, to the (E)netherworld, with those who go down to the pit;
19 ‘Whom do you surpass in beauty?
Go down and make your bed with the (F)uncircumcised.’
20 They shall fall in the midst of those who are killed by the sword. [a]She is turned over to the sword; they have (G)dragged her and all her hordes away. 21 The (H)strong among the mighty ones shall speak of him and his helpers from the midst of Sheol: ‘They have gone down, they lie still, the uncircumcised, killed by the sword.’
22 “(I)Assyria is there and all her company; [b]her graves are all around [c]her. All of them killed, fallen by the sword, 23 whose (J)graves are set in the remotest parts of the pit, and her company is all around her grave. All of them killed, fallen by the sword, who [d]spread terror in the land of the living.
24 “(K)Elam is there and all her hordes around her grave; all of them killed, fallen by the sword, who went down uncircumcised to the (L)lower parts of the earth, who inflicted their terror on the (M)land of the living, and (N)bore their disgrace with those who go down to the pit. 25 They have made a (O)bed for her among the slain with all her hordes. Her graves are around it, they are all uncircumcised, killed by the sword (although their terror was [e]inflicted on the land of the living), and they bore their disgrace with those who go down to the pit; [f]they were put in the midst of the slain.
26 “(P)Meshech, (Q)Tubal, and all their hordes are there; their graves [g]surround them. All of them were killed by the sword (R)uncircumcised, though they inflicted their terror on the land of the living. 27 (S)Nor do they lie beside the fallen [h](T)heroes of the uncircumcised, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war and whose swords were placed under their heads; but the punishment for their (U)wrongdoing rested on their bones, though the terror of these [i]heroes was once in the land of the living. 28 But in the midst of the uncircumcised you will be broken and lie with those killed by the sword.
29 “There also is (V)Edom, its kings and all its [j]princes, who [k]despite all their might are laid with those killed by the sword; they will lie with the uncircumcised and with those who go down to the pit.
30 “There also are the [l]chiefs of the (W)north, all of them, and all the (X)Sidonians, who in spite of the terror resulting from their might, in shame went down with the slain. So they lay down uncircumcised with those killed by the sword and bore their disgrace with those who go down to the pit.
31 “These Pharaoh will see, and he will (Y)find consolation regarding all his hordes killed by the sword, Pharaoh and all his army,” declares the Lord God. 32 “Though I inflicted the terror of him on the land of the living, yet he will be laid to rest among the uncircumcised along with those killed by the sword, Pharaoh and all his hordes,” declares the Lord God.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Dirge over Egypt
17 In the twelfth year, in the first month,[a] on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:
18 Mortal, wail over the hordes of Egypt
and send them down,
with Egypt[b] and the daughters of majestic nations,
to the world below,
with those who go down to the Pit.(A)
19 “Whom do you surpass in beauty?
Go down! Be laid to rest with the uncircumcised!”(B)
20 They shall fall among those who are killed by the sword. Egypt[c] has been handed over to the sword; both it and its hordes will be carried away.[d] 21 The mighty chiefs shall speak of them, with their helpers, out of the midst of Sheol: “They have come down; they lie still, the uncircumcised, killed by the sword.”(C)
22 Assyria is there and all its company, their graves all around it, all of them killed, fallen by the sword.(D) 23 Their graves are set in the uttermost parts of the Pit. Its company is all around its grave, all of them killed, fallen by the sword, who spread terror in the land of the living.(E)
24 Elam is there and all its hordes around its grave, all of them killed, fallen by the sword, who went down uncircumcised into the world below, who spread terror in the land of the living. They bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit.(F) 25 They have made Elam[e] a bed among the slain with all its hordes, their graves all around it, all of them uncircumcised, killed by the sword, for terror of them was spread in the land of the living, and they bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit; they are placed among the slain.(G)
26 Meshech and Tubal are there, and all their multitude, their graves all around them, all of them uncircumcised, pierced by the sword, for they spread terror in the land of the living.(H) 27 And they do not lie with the fallen warriors of long ago[f] who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, whose swords were laid under their heads and whose shields[g] are upon their bones; for the terror of the warriors was in the land of the living.(I) 28 So you shall be broken and lie among the uncircumcised, with those who are killed by the sword.
29 Edom is there, its kings and all its princes, who for all their might are laid with those who are killed by the sword; they lie with the uncircumcised, with those who go down to the Pit.(J)
30 The princes of the north are there, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who have gone down in shame with the slain, for all the terror that they caused by their might; they lie uncircumcised with those who are killed by the sword and bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit.(K)
31 When Pharaoh sees them, he will be consoled for all his hordes—Pharaoh and all his army, killed by the sword, says the Lord God. 32 For he[h] spread terror in the land of the living; therefore he shall be laid to rest among the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword—Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord God.
