Ezekiel 32:24-26

Expanded Bible

²⁴ “The nation of Elam [^Ca country east of Assyria; present-day Iran] is there with all its ·army [hordes] around its grave. All of them were ·killed in war [^Lstruck down by the sword]. They had ·frightened people [^Lspread terror] ·on earth [^Lin the land of the living] and so went down ·unclean [^Luncircumcised] to the ·lowest parts of the place of the dead [underworld; world below]. They must carry their shame with those who have gone down to the ·place of the dead [^Lpit]. ²⁵ A ·bed [resting place] has been made for Elam [v. 24] ·with all those killed in war [among the slain]. The graves of her ·soldiers [hordes] are all around her. All Elam’s people are ·unclean [^Luncircumcised], killed ·in war [^Lby the sword]. They ·frightened people [spread terror] ·when they lived on earth [^Lin the land of the living], but now they must carry their shame with those who have gone down to the ·place of the dead [^Lpit]. ·Their graves are [or They are assigned a place; ^LThey are set] with the rest who were killed.

²⁶ “·Meshech and Tubal [or Meshech-tubal; ^Cpeople from Asia Minor, southeast of the Black Sea; 27:13] are there with the graves of all their ·soldiers [hordes] around them. All of them are ·unclean [uncircumcised] and have been killed ·in war [^Lby the sword]. They also ·frightened people [spread terror] ·when they lived on earth [^Lin the land of the living].
