Ezekiel 32:25

"“There is Elam and all her multitude around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who have gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit."

Key Reflection

This verse envisions Elam and its people as souls in Sheol, the underworld, surrounded by their slain companions. Their uncircumcised state symbolizes their foreignness or outsider status, and they remain a terror even in death, bearing their shame alongside other fallen nations.
