Chapter xxxii.
The final prophecy of this section was given almost two years after the
message of the previous chapter and about eighteen months after the fall
of Jerusalem. First Ezekiel is told to take up a lamentation for Pharaoh
and announce for the last time the work of judgment by the sword of the
King of Babylon. After that follows another wail, a solemn dirge, over
the Egyptian multitudes which have passed into sheol. It is a vivid
description of sheol and those who have descended there. This conclusive
prophecy was uttered by the prophet a few days after the lamentation
over Pharaoh.
