Ezekiel 32:24

Elam is there with all her multitudes. Her graves surround her; all of them were killed. 1 Those who fell by the sword, who have gone down uncircumcised to the lowest parts of the earth, 1 who brought their terrors on the land of the living and who carry their own shame, together with the ones going down to the pit. 1
