In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me: 'Son of man, wail over the multitude of Egypt, and send them down, her and the daughters of the majestic nations, to the world below, with those who go down to the Pit: "Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised," calling for renewed lamentation and describing Egypt's descent to Sheol, with the taunt emphasizing that beauty cannot prevent death. The descent 'with the uncircumcised' suggests shameful association with those outside the covenant community.
