The verse is greatly a repetition of Ezekiel 32:24, and is wanting in LXX., except the words "in the midst of the slain," which are attached to Ezekiel 32:24. The words "that are gone down to the pit" usually close the verse, Ezekiel 32:18; Ezekiel 32:24; Ezekiel 32:29; and if the verse be retained the last clause should probably be omitted as an accidental repetition of the first clause, due to the copyist's eye straying from "pit" in 25 to "pit" in 24. The three words retained in LXX. cannot stand by themselves.
