13. I will slaughter all its cattlethat are beside many waters.No human foot will churn them again,and no cattle hooves will disturb them.
14. Then I will let their waters settleand will make their rivers flow like oil.This is the declaration of the Lord God.
15. When I make the land of Egypt a desolation,so that it is emptied of everything in it,when I strike down all who live there,then they will know that I am Yahweh.
16. “This is a lament that will be chanted; the women of the nations will chant it. They will chant it over Egypt and all its hordes.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.
17. In the twelfth year, 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, to be with those who descend to the Pit:
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! They drag her and all her hordes away.
21. Warrior leaders will speakfrom the middle of Sheolabout him and his allies:They have come down;the uncircumcised lieslain by the sword.
22. Assyria is there with all her company;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 company is all around her burial place.All of them are slain, fallen by the sword —those who once spread terrorin the land of the living.
24. Elam is therewith 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 terrorin the land of the living.They bear their disgracewith those who descend to the Pit.
25. Among the slainthey prepare a resting place for Elamwith all her hordes.Her graves are all around her.All of them are uncircumcised,slain by the sword,although their terror was once spreadin the land of the living.They bear their disgracewith those who descend to the Pit.They are placed among the slain.
26. Meshech and Tubal 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 spreadin the land of the living.
