Ezekiel 32:27

Death and loss

25 Among the slain they prepare a resting place for Elam with all her hordes, with her graves 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 are there with all their multitudes, with their graves all around them. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, because they spread their terror in the land of the living.

They do not lie down with the fallen warriors of old, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, whose swords were placed under their heads, whose shields rested on their bones, although the terror of the mighty was once in the land of the living.

28 But you too will be shattered and lie down among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.

29 Edom is there, and all her kings and princes, who despite their might are laid among those slain by the sword. They lie down with the uncircumcised, with those who descend to the Pit.

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.

Skulle de da ikke ligge hos kjemper, hos dem som er falt blant de uomskårne, som fór ned til dødsriket med sine krigsvåpen, og hvis sverd ble lagt under deres hoder, og hvis misgjerning tynget på deres ben, fordi det hadde vært redsel for kjempene i de levendes land?
