Ezekiel 32:18-30
New American Standard Bible 1995
18 “Son of man, (A)wail for the hordes of Egypt and (B)bring it down, her and the daughters of the powerful nations, to the (C)nether world, with those who go down to the pit;
19 ‘Whom do you surpass in beauty?
Go down and make your bed with the (D)uncircumcised.’
20 They shall fall in the midst of those who are slain by the sword. [a]She is given over to the sword; they have (E)drawn her and all her hordes away. 21 The (F)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, slain by the sword.’
22 “(G)Assyria is there and all her company; [b]her graves are round about [c]her. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword, 23 whose (H)graves are set in the remotest parts of the pit and her company is round about her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword, who [d]spread terror in the land of the living.
24 “(I)Elam is there and all her hordes around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who went down uncircumcised to the (J)lower parts of the earth, who instilled their terror in the (K)land of the living and (L)bore their disgrace with those who went down to the pit. 25 They have made a (M)bed for her among the slain with all her hordes. Her graves are around it, they are all uncircumcised, slain by the sword (although their terror was [e]instilled in 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 “(N)Meshech, (O)Tubal and all their hordes are there; their graves [g]surround them. All of them were slain by the sword (P)uncircumcised, though they instilled their terror in the land of the living. 27 (Q)Nor do they lie beside the fallen [h](R)heroes of the uncircumcised, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war and whose swords were laid under their heads; but the punishment for their (S)iniquity 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 slain by the sword.
29 “There also is (T)Edom, its kings and all its [j]princes, who [k]for all their might are laid with those slain 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 (U)north, all of them, and all the (V)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 slain by the sword and bore their disgrace with those who go down to the pit.

Young's Literal Translation
18 `Son of man, Wail for the multitude of Egypt, And cause it to go down, It -- and the daughters of honourable nations, Unto the earth -- the lower parts, With those going down to the pit.
19 Than whom hast thou been more pleasant? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.
20 In the midst of the pierced of the sword they fall, [To] the sword she hath been given, They drew her out, and all her multitude.
21 Speak to him do the gods of the mighty out of the midst of sheol, With his helpers -- they have gone down, They have lain with the uncircumcised, The pierced of the sword.
22 There [is] Asshur, and all her assembly, Round about him [are] his graves, All of them [are] wounded, who are falling by sword,
23 Whose graves are appointed in the sides of the pit, And her assembly is round about her grave, All of them wounded, falling by sword, Because they gave terror in the land of the living.
24 There [is] Elam, and all her multitude, Round about [is] her grave, All of them wounded, who are falling by sword, Who have gone down uncircumcised unto the earth -- the lower parts, Because they gave their terror in the land of the living, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit.
25 In the midst of the wounded they have appointed a bed for her with all her multitude, Round about him [are] her graves, All of them uncircumcised, pierced of the sword, For their terror was given in the land of the living, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit, In the midst of the pierced he hath been put.
26 There [is] Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude, Round about him [are] her graves, All of them uncircumcised, pierced of the sword, For they gave their terror in the land of the living,
27 And they lie not with the mighty, Who are falling of the uncircumcised, Who have gone down to sheol with their weapons of war, And they put their swords under their heads, And their iniquities are on their bones, For the terror of the mighty [is] in the land of the living.
28 And thou, in the midst of the uncircumcised art broken, And dost lie with the pierced of the sword.
29 There [is] Edom, her kings, and all her princes, Who have been given up in their might, With the pierced of the sword, They with the uncircumcised do lie, And with those going down to the pit.
30 There [are] princes of the north, All of them, and every Zidonian, Who have gone down with the pierced in their terror, Of their might they are ashamed, And they lie uncircumcised with the pierced of the sword, And they bear their shame with those going down to the pit.
