Ezekiel 31:17-18
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
17 They also shall go down into Sheol with it to those who were slain by the sword—yes, those who were its arm, who dwelt under its shadow in the midst of the nations.
18 To whom [O Egypt] among the trees of Eden are you thus like in glory and in greatness? Yet you [also] shall be brought down with the trees of Eden to the netherworld. You shall lie among the [a]uncircumcised heathen with those who are slain by the sword. This is [b]how it shall be with Pharaoh and all the multitude of his strength, his tumult, and his store [of wealth and glory], says the Lord God.(A)

- Ezekiel 31:18 Though there were other circumcised peoples besides the Hebrews, especially the Egyptians (and they as early as 3000 b.c.), yet the Philistines, the Moabites, the Ammonites, the Syrians, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, and various other nationalities with whom the Jews were in contact were uncircumcised, so that the word “uncircumcised” as a term of reproach meant practically (though not etymologically) almost the same thing as heathen (John D. Davis, A Dictionary of the Bible).
- Ezekiel 31:18 The Septuagint (Greek translation of the Old Testament) so reads at this point.
