Among the slain they prepare a resting place for Elam with all her hordes, with her graves all around her. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, although their terror was once spread in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit. They are placed among the slain.
Egypt's funeral is appointed: she must go down to the pit with all the other proud kingdoms that came before her. No nation, however fair or flourishing, escapes this common grave. She drinks the same bloody cup as the rest, and all her multitude falls by the sword. Let her have an honorable burial, but do not mistake it for exemption from judgment.

Commenting on Ezekiel 32:17-32
They have set her bed in the midst of the slain, with all her multitude,.... The grave is called a bed, Isa 57:2, whereon is put the sepulchral chest or coffin, in which the body is laid, and rests as on a bed.
a bed--a sepulchral niche. all . . . slain by . . . sword, &c.-- (Eze 32:21, Eze 32:23-24). The very monotony of the phraseology gives to the dirge an awe-inspiring effect.
