Verse 29
"There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who in their might are laid with them that are slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit. There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all of the Sidonians, who are gone down with the slain; in the terror which they caused by their might they are put to shame: and they lie uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit."
"There is Edom ..." (Ezekiel 32:29). Edom was made to be a type of the wicked nations of all mankind by Isaiah (Isaiah 34); and the description of their punishment at the time of the eternal judgment also carries very significant overtones of that Final Day.
"The princes of the north are there ..." (Ezekiel 32:30). These include the Sidonians, of course; in fact they are ALL going to be there; and this is leading up to the sarcastic statement in Ezekiel 32:30, below, that Pharaoh will be "comforted." "What is meant is that Pharaoh who cherished military and ambitious slaughter of many peoples on earth will have nothing to complain about; for he will find many worthy companions in Sheol!"[18]
