14. ‘Then I shall make their waters clear, and make their rivers run like oil,’ declares the Master יהוה.
15. ‘When I lay the land of Mitsrayim waste, and the land shall be stripped of all that once filled it, when I have smitten all who dwell in it, then they shall know that I am יהוה.
16. ‘This is the lamentation, and they shall lament her, the daughters of the nations lament her. Over Mitsrayim and over all her crowd they shall lament her,’ declares the Master יהוה.”
17. And it came to be in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth of the month, that the word of יהוה came to me, saying,
18. “Son of man, wail over the crowd of Mitsrayim, and send them down to the depths of the earth, her and the daughters of the mighty nations, with those going down to the Pit.
19. ‘Are you more pleasant than others? Go down, be placed with the uncircumcised.’
20. “In the midst of those slain by the sword they fall. She shall be given to the sword, drawing her and all her crowds.
21. “The mightiest among the mighty speak to him out of the midst of the grave with those who help him, ‘They have gone down, they lie with the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.’
22. “Ashshur is there, and all her assembly, with their graves all around her, all of them slain, fallen by the sword,
23. whose graves are set in the sides of the Pit, and her assembly is all around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, because they instilled fear in the land of the living.
24. “There is Ěylam and all her crowd, around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who have gone down uncircumcised to the lower parts of the earth, because they instilled fear in the land of the living. And they bear their shame with those going down to the Pit.
25. “They have set her bed in the midst of the slain, with all her crowd, with her graves all around it, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, for the fear they instilled in the land of the living. So they bear their shame with those going down to the Pit. In the midst of the slain they have been placed.
26. “There are Mesheḵ and Tuḇal and all her crowd, with all their graves around it, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, because they instilled fear in the land of the living.
27. “And they shall not lie with the mighty who are fallen of the uncircumcised, who have gone down to the grave with their battle gear, and whose swords were laid under their heads. But their crookednesses are on their bones, because of the fear of the mighty in the land of the living.
28. “And you shall be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and lie with those slain by the sword.
