Ezequiel 32:16 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 32:16

This is the lamentation with which they shall lament her
The Egyptians themselves, or rather they that are after mentioned. The Targum is,

``the prophet said, a lamentation is this prophecy, and it shall be for a lamentation;''
he was bid at the beginning of it to take up a lamentation, and now at the end of it he pronounces it to be one, and that it should be sung as such: the daughters of the nations shall lament for her;
either literally understood, it being the business and custom of women to say or sing the funeral dirge, or the lamentation at the interment of the deceased; or figuratively, the inhabitants of other nations. So Ben Melech and the Targum, ``the villages of the people shall lament her''; that is, the inhabitants of them, who were in alliance with Egypt, and under its protection: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her multitude;
for the desolation of the land, and for the vast numbers of people that should be slain with the sword, or carried captive: saith the Lord God;
which is added for the confirmation of it; for what he has spoken shall be done.

Ezequiel 32:16 In-Context

14 Entonces haré asentarse sus aguas, y haré correr sus ríos como el aceite declara el Señor DIOS.
15 Cuando yo haga de la tierra de Egipto una desolación, y la tierra quede despojada de lo que la llenaba, cuando yo hiera a todos los que en ella viven, entonces sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR.
16 Esta es la lamentación y la cantarán; las hijas de las naciones la cantarán. Sobre Egipto y sobre toda su multitud la cantarándeclara el Señor DIOS.
17 Y sucedió en el año duodécimo, el quince del mes, que vino a mí la palabra del SEÑOR, diciendo:
18 Hijo de hombre, laméntate por la multitud de Egipto, hazla descender, a ella y a las hijas de las naciones poderosas, a las profundidades de la tierra, con los que descienden a la fosa;
