17. On the fifteenth day of the month in the twelfth year, the Lord spoke his word to me. He said,
18. “Son of man, cry for the many people of Egypt. Bring them down along with the other mighty nations. Send them down below the earth to be with those who have gone down to the pit.
19. “⌊Tell them,⌋ ‘Are you more beautiful than anyone else? Go down and join the godless people.’
