32.3 :And they shall bring thee up in My net.
 * And I will cast thee upon the land,
 * I will hurl thee upon the open field,
 * And will cause all the fowls of the heaven to settle upon thee,
 * And I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.
 * And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains,
 * And fill the valleys with thy foulness.
 * I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains;
 * And the channels shall be full of thee.
 * And when I shall extinguish thee, I will cover the heaven,
 * And make the stars thereof black;
 * I will cover the sun with a cloud,

 * A land destitute of that whereof it was full,
 * When I shall smite all them that dwell therein,
 * Then shall they know that I am the.
 * This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament;
 * The daughters of the nations shall lament therewith;
 * For Egypt, and for all her multitude, shall they lament therewith,
 * Saith the Lord .'

It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the came unto me, saying: 'Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, with the daughters of the mighty nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.


 * Whom dost thou pass in beauty?
 * Go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.
