The verses around it, from Ezekiel 32.
11 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘The sword of the king of Babylon will come against you!
12 I will make your hordes fall by the swords of the mighty, the most ruthless of all nations. They will ravage the pride of Egypt and all her multitudes will be destroyed.
13 I will slaughter all her cattle beside the abundant waters. No human foot will muddy them again, and no cattle hooves will disturb them.
14 Then I will let her waters settle and will make her rivers flow like oil,’ declares the Lord GOD.

18 “Son of man, wail for the multitudes of Egypt, and consign her and the daughters of the mighty nations to the depths of the earth with those who descend to the Pit:
19 Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down and be placed with the uncircumcised!
