Ezekiel 32:20

Death and loss

18 “Son of man, wail for the multitudes of Egypt, and consign her and the daughters of the mighty nations to the depths of the earth with those who descend to the Pit:

19 Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down and be placed with the uncircumcised!

They will fall among those slain by the sword. The sword is appointed! Let them drag her away along with all her multitudes.

21 Mighty chiefs will speak from the midst of Sheol about Egypt and her allies: ‘They have come down and lie with the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.’

22 Assyria is there with her whole company; her graves are all around her. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
