They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 31 of Ezekiel. Assyria’s descent into Sheol causes mourning among the nations. The comparison directly serves as a warning to Pharaoh: Egypt’s greatness also does not guarantee permanence. The chapter uses the history of one fallen power to interpret the destiny of another.

Denn sie mußten auch mit ihm hinunter zur Hölle, zu den Erschlagenen mit dem Schwert, weil sie unter dem Schatten seines Arms gewohnt hatten unter den Heiden.
También ellos descendieron con él a la fosa, con los muertos a cuchillo, los que fueron su brazo, los que estuvieron a su sombra en medio de las gentes.
También ellos bajaron con él al Seol, con los muertos a espada, y los que eran su brazo habitaban a su sombra en medio de las naciones.
Eux aussi sont descendus avec lui dans le séjour des morts, Vers ceux qui ont péri par l'épée; Ils étaient son bras et ils habitaient à son ombre parmi les nations.
Anch’essi sono scesi con lui nell’inferno, a quelli che sono stati uccisi con la spada; il suo braccio eziandio, alla cui ombra dimoravano fra le genti, vi è sceso.
Também estes com ele descerão ao inferno a juntar-se aos que foram traspassados à espada, sim, aos que foram seu braço, e que habitavam à sombra no meio dos gentios.
這些樹也要與它同下陰間,到被刀所殺的人那裏;它們曾作它的膀臂 ,在列國中曾居住在它的蔭下。
