17. It came to pass also in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18. “Son of man, wail over the multitude of Egypt,And cast them down to the depths of the earth,Her and the daughters of the famous nations,With those who go down to the Pit:
19. ‘Whom do you surpass in beauty?Go down, be placed with the uncircumcised.’
20. “They shall fall in the midst of those slain by the sword;She is delivered to the sword,Drawing her and all her multitudes.
21. The strong among the mightyShall speak to him out of the midst of hellWith those who help him:‘They have gone down,They lie with the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.’
22. “Assyria is there, and all her company,With their graves all around her,All of them slain, fallen by the sword.
