Verse 17
17. The prophet closed his last prophecy by bringing into vivid relief the funeral cortege of the dead Egyptian empire, in which the princesses, who represent the surrounding nations which yet live, appear chanting the funeral dirge. In his prophecy-poem, which seems to have been uttered a fortnight later, the prophet sees the entire procession, mourning women and all, engulfed in Sheol. (Compare Isaiah xiv, and for Sheol see Appendix to chapter.) Their sins have found them out and judgment has overtaken them.
