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 hundir sus aguas, y haré ir sus acequias como aceite, dijo el Señor DIOS.
15 Cuando asolare la tierra de Egipto, y la tierra fuere asolada de su plenitud, cuando herire a todos los que en ella moran, sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR.
16 Esta es la endecha, y la cantarán; las hijas de los gentiles la cantarán; endecharán sobre Egipto, y sobre toda su multitud, dijo el Señor DIOS.
17 Y aconteció en el año duodécimo, a los quince del mes, que vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo:
18 Hijo de hombre, endecha sobre la multitud de Egipto, y despéñalo a él, y a las villas de los gentiles fuertes, en la tierra de los profundos, con los que descienden a la sepultura.
