Ezekiel 32:17-32
Christian Standard Bible
Egypt in Sheol
17 In the twelfth year,[a] on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me: 18 “Son of man, wail over the hordes of Egypt and bring Egypt and the daughters of mighty nations down to the underworld,[b] to be with those who descend to the Pit:(A)
19 Who do you surpass in loveliness?
Go down and be laid to rest with the uncircumcised!
20 They will fall among those slain by the sword.
A sword is appointed!(B)
They drag her and all her hordes away.
21 Warrior leaders will speak
from the middle of Sheol
about him[c] and his allies:
‘They have come down;
the uncircumcised lie
slain by the sword.’(C)
22 “Assyria is there with her whole assembly;
her graves are all around her.
All of them are slain, fallen by the sword.
23 Her graves are set in the deepest regions of the Pit,
and her assembly is all around her burial place.
All of them are slain, fallen by the sword—
those who once spread terror
in the land of the living.
24 “Elam(D) is there
with all her hordes around her grave.
All of them are slain, fallen by the sword—
those who went down to the underworld uncircumcised,
who once spread their terror
in the land of the living.
They bear their disgrace
with those who descend to the Pit.
25 Among the slain
they prepare a bed for Elam
with all her hordes.
Her graves are all around her.
All of them are uncircumcised,
slain by the sword,
although their terror was once spread
in the land of the living.
They bear their disgrace
with those who descend to the Pit.
They are placed among the slain.
26 “Meshech and Tubal[d](E) are there,
with all their hordes.
Their graves are all around them.
All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword,
although their terror was once spread
in the land of the living.
27 They do not lie down
with the fallen warriors of the uncircumcised,[e]
who went down to Sheol
with their weapons of war,
whose swords were placed under their heads[f]
and their shields[g]
rested on their bones,
although the terror of these warriors
was once in the land of the living.
28 But you will be shattered
and will lie down among the uncircumcised,
with those slain by the sword.(F)
29 “Edom(G) is there, her kings and all her princes,
who, despite their strength, have been placed
among those slain by the sword.
They lie down with the uncircumcised,
with those who descend to the Pit.
30 All the leaders of the north(H)
and all the Sidonians(I) are there.
They went down in shame with the slain,
despite the terror their strength inspired.
They lie down uncircumcised
with those slain by the sword.
They bear their disgrace
with those who descend to the Pit.
31 “Pharaoh will see them
and be comforted(J) over all his hordes—
Pharaoh and his whole army,
slain by the sword.”
This is the declaration of the Lord God.
32 “For I will spread my[h] terror
in the land of the living,
so Pharaoh and all his hordes
will be laid to rest among the uncircumcised,
with those slain by the sword.”
This is the declaration of the Lord God.

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:
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.
24 (T)“Elam is (U)there, and all her multitude around her grave; all of them (V)slain, fallen by the sword, who went down uncircumcised into (W)the world below, who spread their terror in the land of the living; and (X)they bear their shame (Y)with those who go down to the pit. 25 (Z)They have made her a bed among the slain with all her multitude, (AA)her graves all around it, all of them uncircumcised, slain 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.
26 (AB)“Meshech-Tubal is (AC)there, and all her multitude, (AD)her graves all around it, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for they spread their terror in the land of the living. 27 And (AE)they do not lie with the mighty, the fallen from among the uncircumcised, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, whose swords were laid under their heads, and whose iniquities are upon their bones; for the terror of the mighty men was in the land of the living. 28 But as for you, you shall be broken (AF)and lie among the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword.
29 (AG)“Edom is (AH)there, her kings and all her 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.
30 “The princes (AI)of the north are there, all of them, and all the (AJ)Sidonians, who have gone down in shame with the slain, (AK)for all the terror that they caused by their might; they lie uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword, and (AL)bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.
31 “When Pharaoh sees them, he (AM)will be comforted for (AN)all his multitude, Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword, declares the Lord God. 32 (AO)For I spread terror (AP)in the land of the living; and he shall be laid to rest among (AQ)the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword, Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord God.”
