¹⁷ A message from the Lord came to me. King Jehoiachin had been brought to Babylon as a prisoner. On the 15th day of a month 12 years after that, the message came. The Lord said, ¹⁸ “Son of man, weep over the huge army of Egypt. Tell the Egyptians they will go down into the earth below. The women singers from the other mighty nations will go down into the grave along with them and others. ¹⁹ Tell them, ‘Are you any better than others? Since you are not, go down there. Lie down with those who have not been circumcised.’
