Ezekiel 32:15

A Lament for Pharaoh King of Egypt

14Then I will let her waters settle and will make her rivers flow like oil,’ declares the Lord GOD. 15‘When I make the land of Egypt a desolation and empty it of all that filled it, when I strike down all who live there, then they will know that I am the LORD.’16This is the lament they will chant for her; the daughters of the nations will chant it. Over Egypt and all her multitudes they will chant it, declares the Lord GOD.”
